The Stockings were hung by the chimney with care... at the Marion Museum on December 6th for the Holiday open house. Guests wandered through the four rooms of displays and exhibits and admired the pretty Christmas tree in the Country School room. The tour ended, generally, in the Heritage Room, where the stockings were hung and the delicious trifles were served. This year the visitors were treated to Banana Trifle and Chocolate Trifle, sometimes tasting the desserts more than once to determine which was the best! The gift shop was open and folks were buying Marion cranberry and hunter green coverlets and the lovely Christmas balls where early Marion places were pictured. There are copies of Marion's South Main Street stores and businesses available, too, for Christmas giving. Ruth Haskins was the recipient of the framed coverlet print offered by the Marion Historic Association.
