CCC FREE ED Talks: "The Great Santa Claus Bank Robbery"

The Coconino Community College FREE ED Talks series is pleased to announce that “The Great Santa Clause Bank Robbery” will be presented by Billy Smith, playwright, composer and director “Banjo Billy” on the Grand Canyon Railway 6 – 7:30 p.m., Monday December 10, 2018 at the CCC Fourth Street Campus in room #B34 located at 3000 N.

Picture this: Santa Claus walks into a small town Texas bank on December 23, 1927. The ensuing robbery is one of Texas’ most infamous crimes, having invoked the largest manhunt ever seen in the state. Eyewitness Boyce House wrote that this actual event included “the most spectacular crimes in the history of the southwest… surpassing any in which Billy the Kid, or The James Boys had ever figured out.”
