Summer Sizzler - Dinner and Dance!
Submitted by Alicia Reuter on Thu, 05/10/2012 - 09:36Join the Rice County Historical Society at the Faribault American Legion on Friday, June 8th for dinner, silent auction and entertainment by Jivin’ Ivan and the Kings of Swing. Social Hour begins at 5pm, dinner will be served at 6pm, and the music will begin at 7pm.
During the evening we will also have a silent auction of merchandise and services from area businesses, as well as a raffle to raise funds for the Historical Society. All proceeds will support the Rice County Historical Society’s ongoing programs and activities. We are hoping through this event to raise funds to help continue to preserve the rich history of Rice County and especially to share our history with the community.
This evening promises to be one you will not want to miss and won’t forget.
Victorian Courtship
Submitted by Alicia Reuter on Thu, 04/26/2012 - 12:13Learn the rules that Ladies and Gentlemen had to follow in society during the 1800s. These rules were for the privilege upper class to act according in their social standing. The rules were very strict but everyone followed them without any questions.
Presenter Jaclyn Theis “loves the Civil War period with all its gentility and romances that once was a way of life. It is an inspiration to bring my enjoyment of this era back to others and learn something that they never knew or heard before.”
The program will begin at 7:00pm. at the Rice County Historical Society Museum of History, 1814 NW Second Avenue, Faribault MN. Refreshments will be served following the program. Admission is $2.00 for non-members and FREE for members. Reservations are encouraged. Please contact the Rice County Historical Society at (507) 332-2121 with any questions.
