The treat bags will be <br />available starting at 6 PM at the Museum, 1001 Main <br />St.This continues the Louisville holiday tradition of <br />handing out sacks of treats to children. For decades, <br />from the 1920s to the 1980s, Louisville community <br />organizations sponsored these sacks that typically <br />each contained an orange, nuts in the shell, and <br />pieces of ribbon candy. For many Louisville children, <br />receiving these treat sacks was a large part of their <br />holiday experience. During the Depression, the sacks <br />were even the main gifts for children in some families. <br />We thank the Louisville History Foundation for spon- <br />soring the treat bags again this year and for <br />continuing the tradition. <br />POST <br />rm <br />WANT TO <br />STAY IN <br />THE <br />KNOW? <br />City of Louisville <br />Facebook, Twitter, Nextdoor & YouTube <br />Visit Louisville CO <br />Instagram <br />Recreation & Senior Center <br />Facebook, Instagram & YouTube <br />Coal Creek Golf Course <br />Facebook, YouTube, Instagram & Twitter <br />Fans of Louisville Open Space & Parks <br />Facebook <br />Library & Museum <br />Facebook, Instagram & YouTube <br />Louisville Police Department <br />Facebook & Twitter <br />Find us on <br />social media for <br />daily updates. <br />LOUISVILLECO.GOV/SOCIALMEDIA <br />El <br />0 <br />Winter 2021-22 • Page 7 <br />
