OLDE TYME RADIO SUPPORTS IAHS! DON'T MISS IT!
On Monday, August 18th at 5:00PM at Middle Ridge Winery and Art Gallery, the Old Tyme Radio troupe will be performing "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town"(a 1936 Frank Capra movie, a 1940 radio broadcast with Orson Welles). Each performance has a portion of its proceeds go to a local non-profit organization.
Olde Tyme Radio has selected IAHS as its recipient for their August show. If you haven't been to an Olde Tyme Radio show, I encourage you to come to this one. They are fun and full of familiar local faces.
Hope to see you on August 18th for an early evening of entertainment and support for our museum.
