Author's Tea in Lyons

There will be an Author's Tea this weekend (August 2 and 3), at the Wayne County Old Jail Museum, 21 Butternut Street, Lyons.

Andrea T. Evangelist will sign copies of her new book, A Gathering of Memories: Images and Recollections of Wayne County, New York. The soft-cover, 250-page book will be available for sale at the book- signing and afterwards in the museum's gift shop, for $25 each.

This publication contains 500 captioned pictures that reflect the first 150 years of Wayne County's history. Interspersed throughout the book, that is generously sponsored by the Lyons National Bank, are reminiscences of people who have fond memories of their life in Wayne County.

Chapter titles of the book include Wayne County People, Farming, The Canal, Snow, Wrecks, Fire & Floods, Music and Theatre, Sodus Point, Red Creek, and other titles naming each of the County's 15 towns.

A portion of the profits made from book sales will go to fund future Wayne County Historical Society publications.
