The Bella Vista Historical Society quarterly newsletter won't be out until late December. Following are items of interest.
The next History Club meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 14, with a showing of the movie, "Jesse James," made in Pineville, Mo., in 1938. Families are welcome to take a break from Christmas shopping to enjoy the movie and find out why Bella Vista has a role in the story of the making of this movie. Admission is free and popcorn will be served, sponsored by Allen's Food Market.
The museum gift shop is now selling holiday cards featuring vintage photographs. They are blank inside in order to write your own holiday message. There are four different vintage photographs to choose from. Pricing is 20 cards for $15 or singles at $1. Stop by the museum Wednesday through Sunday afternoon, between 1 and 5 p.m., to get yours, or email a request for a mail order.
If looking for an unusual Christmas gift, stop by the Museum to look over the new jigsaw puzzles in the gift shop. There are three different Bella Vista scenes to choose from and the puzzles are varied in size. They are reasonably priced, between $11 and $22, with taxes included. Lots of other good merchandise is available in the Museum's gift shop for that special one-of-a-kind gift.
