A man in a western style police hat, sunglasses, and leather jacket with a badge, sitting in a rocking chair in front of the stage in Centennial Square. This man is presumably Keith Laughter, a local policeman who won the Rocking Chair Marathon competition, after 78 hours and 45 minutes of continual rocking. The Rocking Chair Marathon kickstarted the week long Centennial celebration of the founding of Kings Mountain.
