Era: 1978
Location: Owosso Country Club and Dolly Woodard residence
In 1978, golf legend Arnold Palmer visited Owosso for the introduction of the Arnold Palmer collection of contemporary casual furniture by Woodard.
Palmer played golf at the Owosso Country Club with employees from the Woodard factory—a memorable day for workers who found themselves sharing the course with one of the greatest golfers in history.
Palmer visited with Dolly Woodard, widow of Joseph Woodard (who died in 1971), and his wife Winnie at her West Oliver Street home.
