Think about the 1950’s and our minds drift back to
a more nostalgic time of “Father Knows Best”,
45 RPM records, black & white televisions and slogans
like “I Like Ike”. After the hardships of the War Years,
women entertained more, ladies’ luncheons and cocktail parties
became very popular, and men became masters of the grill.
Join Judith Krall Russo, Food Historian, and learn
what it’s like to entertain in a 1950’s style.
Light BBQ refreshments will be served.
Registration is required. Please call library to register.
