Bicentennial Bonanza: Party Like It’s 1976
For us GenXers born before about 1972, the build-up to our nation’s Bicentennial was truly one of the most anticipated events of our young lives. Join us as we celebrate the Spirit of '76 through your eyes, with a collection of special, star-spangled Bicentennial memories straight from our listeners — from getting pennies smashed by the passing Freedom Train to collecting those treasured Bicentennial quarters to costumes — SO. MANY. COSTUMES. (Special shoutout to the Tricorn hat.) Let’s celebrate our collective patriotic memories together as we get ready for the 50th anniversary of the unforgettable Bicentennial and that undeniable SPIRIT of '76!
