Food, prizes, auction items, book discussions and even a fashion show are in store at Farmersville Historical Society’s spring luncheon.

The event starts at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 23 at Farmersville High School. Tickets, which serve as the society’s main fundraiser, are $20 and available for purchase at Dyer Drug Store, Main Street Antiques, Fiber Circle or at the door.

One of the main highlights will be a style show of historic women’s loungewear, presented by Henson-Kickernick, Inc.

Other entertainment includes a reading of Catharine Ingelman-Sundberg’s “The Little Old Lady that Broke all the Rules.” Book reviewer Susan Boone will lead the discussion.

The Historical Society describes the novel as “an incredibly quirky, humorous and warm-hearted story about growing old disgracefully – and breaking all the rules along the way.”

Door prizes and a silent auction will continue throughout the luncheon.
