VICTORIAN TRADITION REVISITED
The Lyons Heritage Society is presenting the "Peppermint Pig"!!! It is a delightful, unique gift for the whole family!! The Peppermint Pig "TAIL" goes like this:
The Peppermint Pig was cast of hard candy similar in fashion to a candy cane and festive pink in colour. They proudly stood for an old-fashioned Yuletide itself. Ater holiday dinner, the Pig was passed amongst those gathered, each in turn giving the pouch it was put in, a firm tap and sharing a tale of the past year's good fortune. The delicious broken peppermint and warm memories were enjoyed by all in hopes of prosperity for the coming year.
Saratoga Sweets Candy Company in Saratoga Springs, New York revived the timeless traditon by recreating the Peppermint Pig. The Pig is sold separately or can be purchased with a red velvet pouch and gold hammer to carry out the "tapping" tradition after dinner. These pigs along with Pigsy Dust(to flavor almost anything with peppermint) can be purchased at the Lyons Heritage Society Booth on December 4 and 5, at the Wayne County Historical Society's Christmas Boutique. A UNIQUE gift that will thrill both children and adults!
The Lyons Heritage Society will also feature: Dottie Blackwell notecards, peppermint candles, peppermint cookies, peppermint oil, and gourmet peppermints along with other unique gifts or stocking stuffers!!

LHS PRESENTS: GLASS WHIMSIES
On October 18, Chris Davis, LHS Vice President and resident of Newark, will present a slide-illustrated program on "Glasshouse Whimsies". Glass whimsies were made by glass factory workers on their own time, for their own use and enjoyment, or to give as a gift. They were typically made at bottle and window glass factories, such as Clyde, from about 1850 to 1910. Popular whimsies, or "friggers", as they were called by the glassworkers, included darners, canes, batans, chains, etc.
Davis is a longtime collector of early glass and bottles. In 1988, he co-founded The Whimsey Club. He's currently executive director of the Newark-Arcadia Historical Society.
The presentation will be conducted at the Lyons Public Library and is open to the public at no charge. The program will begin at 7:00pm and will be followed by a business meeting. For more information, call 315-946-4596 or visit LHS webpage at www.lyonsheritagesociety.com.
