| | CASDE | Hayes Center -- Hayes County |
 | | On July 3-4, 1985, our town of Hayes Center and the people who dreamed, worked, and built it from its christening in January 1885 to the present, were honored during a two-day centennial celebration. |
 | | A special pageant written and portrayed by Hayes County people, a parade of over one hundred entrants, free buffalo barbecue, trail drive, and a time capsule to be opened in 50 years, were all evidence of the love and pride of Hayes Center descendants. |
 | | Hayes Center businessmen have kept faith and weathered many battles that include: the great drought of 1894 that caused many pioneers to move on, grasshopper plagues, prairie and business fires, the Depression and drought of the Dirty 30's, loss of good men in the wars, as well as the current economic stress of the 1980s. |
