Join him on Friday, July 24th, at 12:30 p.m. for a presentation about patriotic ornaments and items that are red, white and blue to fit the patriotic category. German glass blowers became very interested in the American market from the first visit that F. W. Woolworth made to Germa- ny. Glass blowing became a “cottage industry,” families were very competitive for business and used their imaginations for expand- ing their products into the United States. Patriotic ornaments became one of those commodities. Come hear him speak about these beautiful and unique holiday decorations.
