AS WE CONTINUE TO PLAN OUR 300TH LECTURE AND EVENT SEASON "MINI-SERIES", WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US THIS WEEKEND:
SATURDAY, MARCH 2ND: CLOTHING OF THE COLONIAL PERIOD: JOIN REVOLUTION NJ EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CARRIE FELLOWES as we start to get ready for the 250th anniversary of our country's birth. In anticipation of exciting events in which many of you will want to participate or attend, or those of you who simply have a fashion fascination, Carrie will present a "how-to" program on creating accurate 1770s clothing for living history interpretation and programs. When should you begin assembling our kit? Where might you fid patterns and fabric that will provide the best look for your time and money? Is there anything you can purchase ready-made? The 300th will also do a brief presentation about some of the events that our county's historical partners have already started planning. Main Branch, County Library, Route 12. 2 PM. Free refreshments follow. No reservations required.
