Franklinville will once again host The
Maple Festival. The main event for IVHS at the Maple
Festival will be a quilt raffle. Suzanne Linderman has donated
a beautiful
queen-sized quilt that she designed and made. The winner will
be chosen at 3:00 PM on Sunday, April 28th, 2024. Tickets cost
one for $5.00 and 3 for $10.00. The winner need not be present
to win. Click here to see items available.
Tickets are now on sale and if you are not in the Franklinville
area, but would like to buy tickets for the quilt, please send
a check to IVHS Treasurer, P.O. Box 153 Franklinville, New
York 14737. Please mark that the amount is for the quilt tickets.
We will fill out the raffle tickets for you and if you wish,
will send confirmation of the numbers by email. Winner will
be notified by phone and posted on our website: www.ishuavalleyhistoricalsociety.org.
In addition to the large quilt, we will have a Chinese Auction
for a lap quilt and several Maffei prints. We have small woven
rugs for sale that are about 100 years old and in great condition.
There will be a demonstration of weaving on the old loom the
rugs were made on.
A basket and gift certificate raffle will also be available
this year. Please consider donating a basket or making a donation
toward having a basket made for you. Donations can be sent
to: IVHS Treasurer, P.O. Box 153, Franklinville, New York 14737.
Your donations are tax deductible! We are asking that baskets
and certificates be brought to 3 Park Square on Friday afternoon
April 26th until 5:00 PM.
If you are looking for books to enjoy this summer, check out our display featuring
many of the latest mysteries and publications. Prices range from 25 cents to
50 cents. No hardcover is over $1.00.
Come on out and support The Maple Festival and the Ischua Valley Historical Society.
Wishing
You Well!
While there is no mask mandate, if
any of you wish to continue masking we
will understand. Thankfully, we have become more
knowledgeable in how to stay healthy and still enjoy social
events. Please keep this in mind as we move forward together. See
You Soon.
Watch for more details, and final dates
and times as the year progresses.
These will be posted here,
in our quarterly Newsletter, and in our local Newspapers.
