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."
