BRAND NEW to the displays at MEMORIAL HALL,…….
A FANTASTIC collection of Fort Jennings Memorabilia spanning almost 150 years!!
We’ve been working on this for the last ten years!!
This AMAZING display is housed in a vintage display case…..donated by the family of the late Ed Biedenharn, who also donated some of the items on display.
AND,……..we dusted off some of the Memorial Hall’s collection of Pioneer items and “Curiosities” that you may remember from when the old showcases were at the Hall,………because every museum collection needs a “Tarantula in a bottle” and a “beaver tail from the early 1900’s”.
Who says history can’t be fun?
AND,……small snafu with the DUNKIN’S DIAMONDS GIVE-A-WAY. They sent the wrong prize, so.....our tickets aren’t accurate.
INSTEAD of a set of inside/outside 1ct hoop earrings worth $1,799,….you’ll get…….
………A TWO CARAT TOTAL WEIGHT PAIR OF INSIDE OUTSIDE HOOP EARRINGS VALUED AT $2,999!!!!!
To all………this raffle and the museum donation box are the ONLY part of Fort Fest…..that the Memorial Hall gets funds from…….
There are NO public funds or taxes that pay for Memorial Hall, and…..there is a reason that we have made it the cheapest place around to rent,…….
We fixed it up to be USED,……..and IT SURE IS,.....A LOT,…..but it takes additional funds to fix, upgrade, replace, and repair things.
If you’ve attended or enjoyed an event at the Hall (OR JUST LOOKED FOR AN ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONED PLACE TO COOL OFF),……we sure hope you’d throw $20 our way on some tickets.
That money is what helps keep this beautiful building beautiful.
AND,…….YOU MIGHT JUST WIN A $2,999 PRIZE FOR DOING IT!!
P.S.- We'll be selling tickets at the front table of the Barrels and Brews Tent from 5-6:30pm.
BUY SOME TICKETS, AND YOU'LL BE A WINNER, NO MATTER WHAT,......FOR HELPING SUPPORT MEMORIAL HALL!!
