The Farmersville Historical Society’s annual luncheon will offer guests a unique experience this year, blending history, music and storytelling. Set for Saturday, March 15, the event will feature a Kentucky Derby-inspired theme with a country club-style lunch, silent auction items and contests.

However, one of the afternoon’s unique highlights will be a special preview of an original musical, “A Town Called Friendly,” written by local historian Misty Wiebold.
