Check out "Sweet Vale of Avoca Museum" on Facebook at

The Sweet Vale of Avoca Museum gals are preparing the Museum for our program to be given on Sunday, August 16, at 1:30 p.m. on APRONS!! Perhaps you all remember your mothers or grandmothers wearing aprons. We invite you to come and see what Theresa Minard will present to entertain us on this topic!!
We will also have some of the old Centennial dresses on the mannequins along with an old quilt top on Vera Holtz's quilting frame ready to be quilted!! You won't want to miss this!
