The first Wheeling Civil War 150 Fashion Show was a great success! 194 people attended, including models and volunteers -- the third highest total for any adult program ever held at the library. Many thanks to Kate Quinn and Judi Hendrickson for their tireless work. Thanks also to PD Gregg for building a terrific set, to Vicky Musicaro and Jean Bailey for the fabulous food, to Ed Phillips for going the extra mile, to all of our volunteers, to our fantastic models and to our dedicated patrons. Many, many, many thanks to all. We hope everyone enjoyed the show. Incidentally, as I was too busy to take photographs, please feel free to email any digitals to lunchwithbooks@yahoo.comAnd, of course, the show goes on--Next up at Lunch With Books tomorrow:
Author Gary Rider will return to Lunch With Books at the Ohio County Public Library on Tuesday November 22 at noon to discuss his second volume of Marshall County Patriots and Heroes featuring 140 military profiles and over 80 pictures. The book covers the American Revolution to Afghanistan with stories about POW's and KIA's, including more than sixty World War II veterans' stories, as well as eleven family groups -- husbands & wives, fathers & sons and brothers. Mr Rider will also bring journals and diaries that were used in writing some of the stories, and hopes to have some memorabilia from World War II.
