Richard Hanks, researcher and writer for Coyote Hill Press, will be giving a talk about the history of quilts back to the Civil War.
There will be an exhibit board with the very rare Civil War U.S. Sanitary Commission quilt and newspaper clippings about how it ended up in Redlands, CA. Above is a photo of the quilt, which is hanging in a museum where Richard worked in California.

A Day of Celebration and Community
The Ladies Aid will be having our traditional bake sale with more than 40 pies and other baked goods, beginning at 10am. Many begin lining up very early, as we do sell out within minutes of opening the doors.
There will be a patriotic walk that begins at approximately 11 am. While folks are lining up and getting ready, there will be music this year! Provided by Fiddle n Squeeze, a fiddle and accordion duo playing Bluegrass, Celtic, and Old Time music, they will begin at 10:00 and play while everyone gets ready for the patriotic walk.
After the patriotic walk (see the route in the picture above...), there will be a flag raising ceremony at the Ladies Aid Building led by our local Boy Scouts, followed by a few patriotic sing-along songs.
And then,…popsicles for All!
Want to Be a part of it?
