We know: the holidays are pushed earlier and earlier every year. (There is not a month of the year we do not have something \u201cChristmas\u201d in the works at PHW, so we fully sympathize with all the eye-rolling and cries of \u201cNot again!\u201d) But we also know it takes artists time to handcraft their delightful goods for the Bough & Dough Shop. In that spirit, we are once again hosting an informal open house at the Hexagon House on Saturday, August 24, 1-4 PM<\/strong>. The downstairs will be partially laid out for a test run of tables and confirmed artist spots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the event is geared mostly to returning and new artists, anyone is welcome to attend. And if you\u2019ve been procrastinating on filling out an application, we strongly urge you to do so\u2014most of our spots are filled, but with some advance planning, we may be able to squeeze in a few more artists or keep you on hand if a last minute cancellation opens a spot. You can find a copy of the info packet for artists at www.phwi.org\/events\/Shopinfo.pdf<\/a>. We anticipate this session to be very useful for artists looking to discover what display materials they need to bring or how their items might fit into the eccentric Hexagon House layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our summer newsletter<\/strong> is complete and online. Check out the digital version online here<\/a>. A hard copy should be mailed to our members next week. We did not want to keep the time sensitive events waiting. Inside is a copy of our Holiday House Tour booklet advertising sponsorship levels. We hope you will secure a spot to showcase your business!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark your calendars for September 15 <\/strong>for the next 275th event: “From Disaster to Redemption: George Washington and the Making of Winchester”<\/strong> at the George Washington Hotel Ballroom, 103 E.

This is a free event to attend; however, you may wish to purchase food or drinks during the mingle. Menu:  Fried chicken plate with greens and mashed potatoes and a biscuit for $15.00. Apple cobbler and coffee for $5.00. There will be a bar. The Hotel has asked that you pay with cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are out in the Gainesboro area, stop by the Gainesboro Tourist Park<\/a>. A new sign has been erected commemorating the Stonewall Brigade’s encampment<\/strong> in the area during Jackson’s Bath-Romney Campaign<\/a>. A small dedication is likely to take place the first weekend of September. PHW was delighted to help write and design the sign for the Gainesboro Ruritan Club to bring their idea to fruition. If you have not heard the story of the soldiers who took part of the expedition, you can learn more at the Bath-Romney Campaign Historical and Preservation Association<\/a>. While this marker is not affiliated with the six Civil War Trails markers installed in Morgan County, it was written to mesh with them and mark one of the first camps the Confederate soldiers experienced after leaving Winchester. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
