COOLEEMEE ó Women in Cooleemee are baking treats this week for sale on Valentines Day at 9 a.m. in front of the post office. The Kids Love History Bake Sale will be manned by school children.
Proceeds benefit the Cooleemee Historical Association’s “Discovering Our Heritage” programs for children that include passing on traditional values, hometown heritage and history.
School lessons for each grade at Cooleemee Elementary are being expanded to include pre-kindergarten this spring. Young learners will visit the Zachary House and the Mill House Museum to learn how people used to spend evenings before television and computers.
In its 20th year, the association operates two museums with guided tours. On March 22 at 2 p.m. the association is co-sponsoring a ceremony honoring patriot militia leader Richmond Pearson with the Sons of the American Revolution. For more information call 336-284-6040.
