JOURNEY STORIES
On Saturday, December
10, the Smithsonian traveling exhibit, "Journey Stories,"
begins at the Community Center in Tower Park at noon. We will
start off with a bang! We are bringing the music of our ancestors
to Fort Thomas. The Northern Kentucky Brotherhood will be bringing
a concert at noon. Wait until you hear this! At 2:00 the Diamond
Head Bluegrass Band will perform. Both concerts are free though
we LOVE a donation! On Sunday at 2:00 the Hilltop Dulcimer Band
will play their very special music. More than 50 quilts are being
loaned for this show. Great family stories are told through these
homemade quilts. Besides the quilt and textile exhibit a model
of the USS Orlick, named for Fort Thomas' Joe Orlick, will be
displayed along with a painting of Joe and his Navy Cross. A
rosary that traveled through three major wars, clothing worn
by long gone family members, doilies crocheted by the wife of
the shoe cobbler for the ArmyFort--all will be shown and their
stories told. The Smithsonian exhibit comes courtesy of the Kentucky
Humanities Council and the Fort Thomas Military and Community
Museum. This exhibit will begin December 10 and end January 21,
2012. It will be open daily noon until 4:00. It will be closed
for the holiday December 23-25 and December 30-January 1. If
you have a group that would like to attend, please contact me
so that we can schedule you. We have several groups already signed
up and we want to make sure you get special treatment! This entire
event will be manned by volunteers.
