Our heartfelt thanks to our show sponsors, Alpha Delta Chapter ESA,  the many talented quilters, our advertisers, Mic Griffith, the Greenwood Tradition, the Greenwood Democrat, our stalwart volunteers, our members, our show visitors

Vintage quilts will be displayed at the Old Jail Museum, in the Vineyard Cabin, the Ole Barn and the Redwine Pioneer Schoolhouse. The museum curator has created a vintage hat display to complement the quilts.

A Little Rain Didn't Stop the Fun

Some hearty soles braved the weather and ventured out to celebrate Kentucky Derby Day "Old Jail Style." Mint juleps were served on the porch of the Vineyard Cabin as visitors listened to the sounds of "Just Us," Herschel Parker and the "Dulcimer Darlings." Don McGee and is mules Jed and Jesse provided wagon rides around town, as the ladies delighted all with their hats. Horseshoe games were played on the grounds of the Redwine Pioneer Schoolhouse.

Mrs. Cabe, Vernon Stewart and Debbie Gibbs were awarded prizes from Stylin' Hair Salon, the Ware House and AlliWoodsFrederick.com for their hats.

If we reprise this event, we'll hope for better weather, but it was agreed that a good time was had by all despite the rain and cold.

Saturday is Kentucky Derby Day at the Old Jail Museum!

Bring the kids and join us for some old-fashioned family fun Saturday, May 4 from 12-3 at the Old Jail Museum Complex.
