Admission is free, with refreshments of ice cream sundaes, home baked cookies, lemonade and iced tea served by the Crothersville Town Players. The event will take place from 2-4 p.m. to benefit the Crothersville Historical and Cultural Arts Association, the owners of Hamacher Hall.
“The purpose of the organization is to encourage interest in the exploration and preservation of Crothersville history, as well as to promote interest in the cultural and performing arts,” said President Brenda Holzworth.
