Winton Historical Society


The Winton Historical Society had a display in the Park at the Winton Spring Festival, Saturday, April 12. There was a parade downtown at 11:00 a.m.
Pony rides and a carnival was the big attraction in the Winton Park. Food was available at several booths.
Andrea and Helen were there early to set up the display; Carolyn and Lorraine had the next shift with Rosalie and Ida Mae the last shift and closing up.
Besides the "Before & After" pictures on poster board, we had the "Hometown Recipes" cookbook published by the Winton Historical Society and the "Memories of Winton 1911-1950" history book by Rosalie and Lorraine for sale. Our quarterly newsletter was given out to interested parties.
The Winton Historical Society meets the first Tuesday of each month at 1:30 p.m. in the Community Law Enforcement Office (CLEO)on Winton Way. Across the parking lot from Pizza + Fun.
