Winter, 2021-2022:  Happy Golden Days

In honor of the Friends’ 50th Anniversary in 2021, the annual Gingerbread House Festival was appropriately themed “Happy Golden Days.” As part of the vintage, gold and white decor, two dozen images from the Friends’ archival collection were reproduced and framed. These images were a vital part of the festival’s decor, displayed on both the north and south fireplace mantles on the library floor, and on the Steinway grand piano in the second floor assembly hall.  We delightfully present the images here, in our first seasonally-curated online exhibit.
