This donation is the second one given by THF to assist with the restoration of the 1887 home in Mason.
Mason’s Scarlet Punchers, those intrepid women “of a certain age,” who absolutely enjoy living life to the fullest, had another fabulous get-together in October at the home of Sherie Clarkson. Our small but mighty group easily fit around Sherie’s vintage library table, which held a place of prominence in her newly-completed remodeled kitchen.
On Halloween Night from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, the library will be passing out candy for trick-or-treaters. The foyer will be decorated and we will be in costume (with a literary theme, of course). We will be masked and ready to safely pass out candy. We hope that you will make the library one of your trick-or-treat stops this Halloween!

I recently had a couple of requests to re-run the “ The Mason Puncher Tavern Burger Recipe” I think that with this being the midst of Fall Football season it brings back memories of those of us that couldn’t wait to get to a “Mason Puncher” home football game to have a “Tavern Burger”.
