Autumn color, veterans honored in window display

by Betty Jane Wilson, historical society president

A serene country scene, enhanced by a smattering of nature's unique
and variegated bounties, affords credence to a mega "Give Thanks"
poster planted midst the harvest assortment. Pumpkins, sans carved
features, overflowing cornucopias stuffed with colorful treasures,
sunflowers galore towering over large and small pine cones nestled
among brilliant leaves fallen from parent trees, all under the silent
visage of a wise old owl, complete the November autumn scene of the
Valley Falls Historical Society Museum.

"Lest We Forget" . . . mini military service flags prominently
displayed against an American flag background with veterans support
slogans placed among the flags honor all veterans past and present on
Veterans Day, Nov. 11. Remember the price of freedom.

Frank and Edie Shrimplin will be museum hosts from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturday, Nov. 13.
