Calling all history lovers!

Living History Nights, presented by the Gallipolis Chautauqua Committee, will be at the Bossard Library on June 9 - 11.

Each night a scholar/living historian will assume the role of a notable historical Ohioan and perform a monologue based on the life of that individual. Thursday's notable Ohioan will be George Armstrong Custer, Friday's notable Ohioan will be Woody Hayes, and Saturday's notable Ohioan will be Mad Ann Bailey.

The Guitar Class is now full.

Please continue to call/email and register as we can put your name on a waitlist.

Those on the waitlist will be called if there are any cancellations and will be the first ones called when we offer another class.

We have our winners!
