President Charlie Hamilton read the winning ticket number for the handmade Christmas Tree Quilt at the Union County Historical Society Christmas Brunch on December 17 at the Union County Museum. Judson Palmer won the quilt. Proceeds from the quilt donations will go toward helping pay for needed repairs.
Palmer announced that the museum will receive a grant from the Tennessee Museum to replace the flooring. The museum will most likely be closed from January 28 through most of February while the flooring work is completed.
Members brought covered dishes to share after the meeting. Brunch offerings were chicken, ham, dozens of vegetables, chili and a full table of desserts.
Upcoming programs include a variety of programs. Carlos Carter will talk on the founders of the Union County Historical Society on January 21, Southern Spirit perform a medley of country music on February 18. This program is rescheduled for April 21 if the flooring has not been completed. Wayne Goforth will deliver a historical perspective of the Indian Ambush of Peter Graves and Sharps Station on March 17. Other speakers and topics are being planned. Enjoy the fellowship on the third Sunday of each month at 2:30 p.m. If you are a musician or just love to hear country or bluegrass music, come to the Music Jam on every Tuesday from 6 to 9 p.m.
