Holiday treat bags <br />Friday, December 6 • 5-7 p.m. <br />The Museum will give away free <br />holiday treat bags for children <br />during the Parade of Lights <br />on Friday, December 6, while <br />supplies last. The treat bags <br />will be available at the Museum, <br />1001 Main Street, between 5 <br />and 7 p.m. <br />This continues the Louisville holiday tradition of handing <br />out sacks of treats to children. For decades, from the <br />1920s to the 1980s, Louisville community organizations <br />sponsored these sacks that typically each contained an <br />orange, nuts in the shell, and pieces of ribbon candy. <br />For many Louisville children, receiving these treat sacks <br />was a large part of their holiday experience. During the <br />Great Depression, the sacks were often the only gifts <br />for children in some families. We thank the Louisville <br />History Foundation for sponsoring the treat bags again <br />this year and for continuing the tradition. <br />Louisville during the Vietnam War <br />The Louisville Historical Museum recently published <br />an issue of The Louisville Historian that is the first of <br />a two-part series discussing the Vietnam War, and <br />Louisville's involvement in it. You can find free copies at <br />the Louisville Historical Museum, the upper floor at the <br />Louisville Public Library, or online at LouisvilleCO.gov/ <br />Museum. <br />The Museum also updated its front window exhibit <br />to expand on this topic. Stop by anytime to view the <br />new exhibit and learn about this complicated time in <br />Louisville and Boulder County history. <br />Workshop: Hand Mending and Embroidery <br />Saturday, December 14 • 11 a.m.-1 p.m. <br />Louisville Public Library, 951 Spruce Street <br />Feeling thrifty?
