Trinity Lutheran Church thanks community participates in their church-sponsored Quilt Show during the upcoming Sesquicentennial. The registration is now closed and letters have been sent out to participants. Over 75 quilts, baby quilts and wall-hangings have been entered in the show. With everyone’s continued support, they anticipate a great show on FRIDAY FROM 2-5 AND SATURDAY 9-1. Participants are asked to follow the directions carefully so the check-in will be as “painless” as possible on Thursday. Quilt check-in will be from 9-12. The public is encouraged to come and celebrate with them and to take part in the “People’s Choice” voting to determine the winner in each category of entries and a “Best of Show” Award. Those voting and returning their “ballots” will receive a snack treat. Call or text Kathy Rodick at 417-309-0471 if there are questions.

During the Sesquicentennial Celebration people are asked to share a memory of Appleton City. It does not need to be long or involved, just a minute or two at the most. The memory will be videotaped and archived for future generations to enjoy. The memory could be something of interest that you know or remember about AC, a fun story or just a favorite memory. A place and time to share your story will be announced in the near future. If people don’t share their memories, those great stories may someday be gone forever.
