ANNUAL FIRE DEPARTMENT CONSIGNMENT SALE

An Old Home Day like no other!  If you can't find it at this sale, you don't need it!

Schedule your class reunion for the day after, since you're likely to be here anyway!  You can rent the old lunchroom at the Tiger Pride Center or you can rent the old Table Rock Theater, both about the same price and both provide a great venue space for a small group.  For more information: TableRockHistory@gmail.com.

A sad time of transition after the church was closed in 1968. The church donated it to the Historical Society in 1970.

reunion of the families of old st. john's catholic church

The Table Rock Historical Society will host a reception to welcome the old St.families to the museum of St. John's Catholic Church.  The church closed 51 years ago, but many people well remember going to church there.  

The date is very tentative and subject to change.  Plans will be posted as they progress.   There may be a choir.  There may be a short presentation.  There may be special guests.

ALMOST ANY DAY
