New series on antiques . is slated The Woodstock Fine Arts Association has agreed to sponsor an unusual series of lectures and seminars on the major categories of antiques. It will be conducted by the well- known team of Constance and Leo Parent! of Union. The course, "Inside An­ tiques/" will be given in the Woodstock Opera House on eight Tuesday evenings, from 7:30- 9:30 p.m., April 16 to June 4. The opening session will be an introduction to antiques. < The first-night audience will then decide which categories they most want to hear about: pottery (American, Continental, English); porcelain; glass collecting; furniture; prints; dolls and toys; textiles, lace andulets; tools and utensils, and small collectibles. The Parentis have more than 25 years' experience as antique dealers ana appraisers. They have taught similar courses for the past 15 years at McHenry County College and the county historical museum in Union. The Parentis teach not only with words and pictures, but also with actual antiques of fine quality - an adult "show and tell." Over the eight weeks, the audience gradually absorbs much of the highly specialized vocabulary of the antiques trade and they are shown where to go to find out more, and how to evaluate heirlooms or other possessions. The fee for the eight lectures is $40. Registration is at the opera house in person before April 12, or by sending the full fee along with name, address and telephone number to: Barbara Campion, 1236 Blakely, Woodstock, 60098. Mail reservations must be received by April 12. Fiesta Days needs area- talent Fiesta Days provides an annual opportunity for McHenry talent to gain experience and exposure before a crowd of thousands within the various evenings and days of activities. There is ample room for singers, dancers, ihagicians, musicians, jugglers, comedians and impressionists. Jon Meyer, chairman of the Entertainment Committee, said, "Requests to appear during Fiesta Days are coming in from all around the com­ munity and the county. However, it is the goal of the Fiesta Days Board to give first consideration to McHenry talent. It is felt that this op­ portunity should first serve the needs of McHenry and be a showcase for its own residents. Should there be extra time and space, entertainers from outside the area are then assigned the remaining slots." McHenry performers are encouraged to contact the Chamber Office immediately to offer their talents for the many Fiesta Days events. Call (815) 385-4300 or forward information to 1257 N. Green St., McHenry. A schedule of the tentative list of activities is available upon request for the eight days of Fiesta, July 21 through 28.
