LISBON FALLS — Two topics are on the schedule for the Wednesday, Feb. 12, meeting of the Lisbon Historical Society — events that have happened in town over the years during Valentine’s Day week and a quiz based on projected photos from the society’s collection.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the soeciety’s meeting room at the MTM Center.
After sifting through the archives of the old weekly Lisbon Enterprises, historical society staff will present events that have transpired over the years in town on the week of Valentine’s Day. Club and fraternal organizations held unique themed parties, several severe snowstorms occurred, and winter skating parties and horse racing on the Androscoggin and Sabattus rivers tell of colder weather in the past.
The quiz about projected photos will follow, and those attending may be able to identify the “who, what, when, and where” of the old prints.
The evening will also be the society’s annual hand-made Valentine card exchange. Bring a card and collect one in return.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Entrance and parking are at the rear of the building.
Annual dues are also now payable. Secretary/Treasurer Dorothy Smith can provide membership status and accept dues payments at the meeting.
Refreshments will be served, and members are urged to bring Valentine-themed food items for the refreshment table.
