John Salem, the mayor of Kingman, Ariz., declared May as Route 66 Month for the city during a recent proclamation, reported the fledgling Kingman Route 66 Association.
Nice. Politicians typically declare a day or week to commemorate a certain person or thing. But dedicating a month is more substantial.
May is traditionally the month for the Route 66 Fun Run, held by the Route 66 Association of Arizona. This year’s event is May 1-3. In addition, Kingman is hosting a sock hop on the first night of the event, along the city’s historic Beale Street.
