The Stephentown Historical Society will hold its holiday potluck dinner on Monday, December 8, at 6:30 pm at the Stephentown Heritage Center, Garfield Road (County Route 26), Stephentown. Tom Kernan will give an after dinner talk on the history of glass Christmas tree ornaments. Officers and Board members will be elected at the brief business meeting.
For the dinner, bring a dish large enough to share – main course, salad or dessert. Beverages and table service are provided. Instead of a gift exchange, a monetary collection will be taken to support the Stephentown Food Pantry. All meetings are free and open to the public. The building is handicapped accessible. For information, phone 518-733-0010.
Kernan became interested in glass ornaments through admiration of his grandmother’s old German ones. He will tell about the places where ornaments were made and the process of manufacture. He will show some examples and pictures of others. You may bring ornaments for comment or display.
Please Note: The Heritage Center will not be open on Friday afternoons in December.
