(OFC. 8) Ye Olde Freedom Fest Comes To City Church Although there is no time machine that can Cake local residents back to 1776, mem­ bers of the First United Methodist church, McHenry, have put together the closest imitation of this period to date. Two evenings of historical vignettes will be featured Friday and Saturday, Feb. 20 and 21, from 6 to 11 p.m. The Freedom Fest captures five of the institutions pioneer forefathers created to give life meaning and value. Long before television, autos, Jet planes, and job commuting, these institutions shaped the American character: the one- room school, the steepled, white frame church, the village inn, the community drama groups, and the craftsmen and their crafts. The one-room school will sweep viewers back to the spelling bee, the cypering match, the school marm and the schoolmaster. Maurie Taylor has recruited school teachers and youngsters to reenact that institution as it was experienced 200 years ago. Equipment and materials were NOTICE Q«t Blus Cross * Bins SMsM And Unlimited Major Modleal NOW often bought with the famous box social, a happening one can observe at 7:15 or 8:45 p.m. Thirty church members have developed a dramatic spoof with a particular kind of corn- ball humor. "What's up, Paul?" is locally written and locally produced. It's hilarious and as corny as Kansas. See it at 6:30, 8:00 or 9:30 p.m. The inn will suggest the forefathers' yen for the elegant, with fancy chandelier, and white, laundered tablecloths. Guests will be served food of the period, venison stew and deerburgers, by long-skirted waitresses in bonnets. A group of couples will do the minuet and a square dance group will be on hand for the "swing your partner." The candlemaker, the bread baker, the blacksmith, the weaver at the loom or spinning wheel, producer of apple dolls and straw and corn husk dolls, will all be present to ply their arts and sell their wares. It will be an interesting step into the past and for those who want to delve a little further into the beginnings a Freedom Library will be featured with replicas of the early documents of this land and illustrated volumes describing traditions and history. Half of the proceeds of the Freedom Fest will be used for relief in Guatemala following the recent earthquakes.
