On behalf of
the Historical Society of Frederick County, I express our thanks to everyone who
helped to make last month’s Treasured Heirloom Event a tremendous success.
The event would not be possible without the
assistance of the experts: Jim Callear, Anne-Lynn Gross, Helen Becraft Irvine,
Ross Kelbaugh, David Maloney, Mary Jane Perini, Don Reedy, George Rue, Bruce
Schuettinger, Kenzie Smith, Jeff Stouffer, Sam Tressler, and Laura Turner. The
expert’s willingness to share their knowledge of antiques and collectibles is
crucial to the event.
I also express our thanks
to the Frederick Towne Mall for hosting the event, the Delaplaine Visual Arts
Education Center, Brewer’s Alley Restaurant and Roy Underhill. Richard Markey
designed the poster.
The 2006 Treasured Heirloom
Event raised more money in support of the Historical Society’s educational
programs due in large measure to the generosity of the event’s sponsors.
Businesses that sponsored the event were Cozy Restaurant & Inn, Sandy Spring
Bank, Comet Communications, Frederick Air, Art Care Associates, Farmers &
Mechanics Bank, and the Tourism Council of Frederick County.
Other sponsors were: Dillon Barry, Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Bowers, Mr. and Mrs. J. Pinoake Browning, William H. Browning, Robert
GIosenger, Margaret Denton, Early Harrington, Mary Harris, Gil House, Helen
Maiwald, Frances Randall, Marlene M. Rollins, Pepper Scotto, Mr. and Mrs.
William Thrasher, Sam Williamson, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Yewell.
Thanks to the committee members, Claudia
Allemang, Helen Becker, Peg Denton, Duane Doxzen, Mark Hudson and Frances
Randall.
