You might be wondering, "what could I do on November 4 & 5?"
The Shaker Breakfast is completely SOLD OUT but the seminar is still available for only $8.00 per person!!!
For those of you who are on the fence about attending, here is what Tom & Terry Arliskas will be discussing.
Concurrent Presentations for Friday, November 4, 7:30p.m.
Terry Arliskas- "Patriotic Women, North and South" Terry's presentation is on the reactions of women of the North and South to the coming Civil War, and their work to support the War effort. Patriotism was rampant in all States and the Ladies showed their colors and their mettle with the coming of the Civil War.
Tom Arliskas-“The Flowers of Secession," the “Great Cockade Craze of 1860-1861". From October of 1860 through the summer of 1861 your affiliation for the Secession of States or the Union of States you wore on your person in the form of a cockade or ribbon. The colors and styles were so numerous the newspapers of the day had to explain to their readers what each conveyed politically. The all blue, all black, black and white, red-white-blue, each sent a message on the individual’s politics, from the "Fire Eating" Secessionists to the Peace Democrat it all meant something different. A collection of notes on the subject will be presented.
Concurrent Presentations for Saturday, November 5, 9:30a.m., 11:30a.m., 2:00p.m.
Terry Arliskas-“Victorian Jewelry,” Whether it was worn as an ornament, a love token, or a remembrance, jewelry of the Victorian era not only completed the well-dressed lady's attire but also denoted her position in society. We will look at the styles and types of jewelry worn and how to identify jewelry of this period.
Thomas Arliskas- “Confederate Uniforms and Clothing,” What did Johnny Reb really look like? A presentation on the Confederate soldier and how and where he received his clothing, the Great Appeals and the Ragged Confederate myth will be discussed. Bring your questions!
