The treat bags will be <br />available at the Museum, 1001 Main Street, between 5 <br />and 7 p.m. <br />This continues the Louisville holiday tradition of 4 <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 Great Depression, <br />the sacks were often the only gifts for children in <br />some families. <br />We thank the Louisville History Foundation for <br />sponsoring the treat bags again this year and for <br />continuing the tradition. <br />New front window exhibit <br />There's a new exhibit in the Museum's front window! <br />"Let's Eat: Dining In and Dining Out" features Louisville <br />cooking and food items from the Museum collection <br />as well as restaurant menus, advertisements, lunch <br />pails, photographs and memorabilia.
