The area public is invited to the fourth in an ongoing series of Centennial Story-telling at 2 p.m. May 4 at the Lena Village Hall, 117 E. Main St., Lena.
Each month, a group of Lena area residents enjoys exchanging stories from Lena’s past century. Old memories are rekindled, and a fond appreciation grows for Lena’s past and present.
In past months, topics have included the history of Lena’s Volunteer Fire Department, prominent families and buildings, and rural schools. Longtime residents Mike McGuire, Ed Patenaude, Rita Scheffen, and Marsha Kramer have led off past sessions, sparking questions and spontaneous stories from those in attendance. One story fuels another, and so a pleasant hour is passed together.
On June 1, the story-telling sessions will move to a 6-7 p.m. evening time slot. They will then take place at the Lena Historical Museum on the first Wednesday evening of each summer month. Bring your own lawn chair and beverage and settle in for more stories of Lena’s past.
