History Corner – PR Historical Society

You won’t want to miss a fantastic opportunity to learn about “Glass through the Ages.” It will be held Aug.11, 2007, from 10am-1pm at the Historical Society Museum.

Darcel Tanquary is the owner of the collection. She collects colored, clear, patterned glass from mostly the early 1900’s and is planning to bring a variety with her. She will be there to tell about the collection and answer questions. Ms. Tanquary belongs to glass clubs, one of which is “The 20, 30, 40’s Society”, where she is an active member. She has displayed her glass before and also has numerous displays at home. The colored glass is just lovely. Ms. Tanquary also traveled to many glass conventions. She was part of an antique store in recent years. In addition to this, Darcel is a great cook, cake decorator, and maker of watermelon pickles!!

The Harry Potter event is coming up on Friday, July 20 (in two weeks). If you would like to help the PRHS for this outstanding event, or you have any ideas or “loans” of decorations to make it magical, mysterious or enchanted, please contact LAUREN MALONEY. (Any lava lamps, electric luminaries, yardage of black or shimmery fabric, etc would be great. It will be returned to you at the end of the evening…)
