| Notes | The Davenport Chamber of Commerce decided to hold ‘State of Scott' celebrations as part of a three year program to promote the city to both residents and tourists. These celebrations, which were held in 1946, 1947, and 1948, included parades, fireworks, beauty contests, and even the election of a ‘Governor' and the appointment of ‘Senators" from Scott County towns. |
