Event Description:
Capture the holiday spirit with author Rochelle Pennington as she highlights a time when Christmas shopping meant paging through a Sears & Roebuck catalog and heading downtown to the local five-and-dime, where products lining store shelves were American-made. Her program will beckon a remembrance of a time when gathering around a radio to listen to the voices of Bing Crosby, Perry Como, and Nat King Cole in December was a familiar feeling. It was also a time of letters addressed to the North Pole with wishes for choo-choo trains, record players, jack-in-the-boxes, cowboy suits, caps, guns, and Shirley Temple dolls.
The author’s power-point presentation, featuring nearly 100 vintage photographs and images, will be complemented by a collection of Christmas antiques on display.
Come and re-live those memories that guide our hearts to the much-loved traditions of yesteryear. “Yule” enjoy it! There will be hot chocolate and holiday cookies available.
