September 2022
From the Ridge Historical Society, a couple of things –
1. RHS will be open to the public tomorrow, Tuesday, September 27, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., free admission. The address is 10621 S. Seeley Ave. View the current exhibit, the Hetherington Design Dynasty, focusing on the three generations of the Hetherington family of architects who designed upwards of 100 buildings in the community. Also featured is the artwork of Mildred Lyon Hetherington, a local artist who excelled at portraits and illustrations for children’s books and craft projects.
2. RHS has some oak tree seedlings to give away – they are by the Seeley Avenue entrance, 10621 S. Seeley Avenue. Please help yourself – and help restore and preserve the tree canopy of the community for future generations.
3. A great time was had yesterday at the event at RHS put on by Greg Fischer of Wild Blossom Meadery and Winery. Here are some pictures – look at that spread! Wild Blossom is coming out with two spirited beverages in RHS’s name, and RHS will receive some proceeds from the sales. Watch this Facebook page for more details.
