Tuesday, August 30: County Homemaker Council: We will be holding our annual Homemaker Council organizational meeting at 1:30 here at the Extension Office. It is important for officers to attend so they will obtain the materials to get the club off to a good start. Friday, September 16: Antique Road Show (rescheduled from May) Dr. R.E. Wells, a noted authority on antiques will be hosting an Antique Road Show at the Henry County Extension Office from 1:00 to 3:00. You will need to pre-register and can bring two items to be appraised (no guns; no knives; no coins; and not stamps-if you have an item of furniture that is too large simply take a good photo and bring a drawer that is representative of the piece if possible). Everyone will arrive and be set up for him to start at 1:00. You will receive a number and he will appraise the items in order. Dr. Wells always does a roadshow at the end of the antique series he teaches and it is fascinating to have an item appraised but it is also equally fascinating to watch the items discussed. If you don t want to bring an item but just want to attend please indicate that when you register. He can do about 45 items so there will be a limit to how many will be able to bring items, so call early to reserve your spot.
