The Chester County Historical Society (CCHS) is seeking support for its annual Founders Event on Thursday, Nov. 6, from 6 to 10 p.m.
The popular fundraiser enables area residents to support CCHS’s educational mission - implemented through numerous programs and exhibits - while interacting with other committed patrons of history, organizers said.
During the evening, which will include guided tours of the Historical Society's galleries and food from Jimmy Duffy's, guests will be treated to classical guitar playing by Malcolm Johnstone and will learn about the event’s two honorees, both of whom are described as supporters of CCHS for more than 25 years, a CCHS news release said.
"Our Founders Awardee Peco has been a dedicated supporter of CHS's Antiques Show and education programs," the release said. ” Similarly, longtime supporter Penelope "Penny" Wilson has contributed to CCHS's success in numerous ways, all which enhance our ability to reach tens of thousands easy year with local history activities and programming."
Tickets, which cost $100 apiece, are available and can even be purchased at the door. Individual and corporate sponsorship opportunities still exist as well. Contact David Reinfeld at 610-692-4800, ext. 267, or dreinfeld@ChesterCoHistorical.org.
