Historical Society and Tavern Museum Council Participate in Community Pride Day

Community Pride Day, an annual event sponsored by the King & Queen County School System, is a “fun-for-the family” day at Central High School to encourage a sense of community in a county 65 miles long and 10 miles wide with two elementary schools and one high school. Saturday October 17th, the day of the event, was crisp and sunny. The many parade and vendor participants set a festive tone for the flood of visitors and those attending the homecoming football game. The Grand Marshalls of the parade, William B. Gwathmey and Jacob H. Dabney, both retired King and Queen County school teachers, rode at the head of the parade in a horse and carriage promoting the Historical Society and provided by member Brownie Bevan. Mr. Gwathmey is a member of the Historical Society and a docent at the Tavern Museum. The Museum (gift shop) vendor table was very successful.
