This is a reminder to visit the first Chelsea History Fest at Timbertown Sunday, June 23 from noon-4 p.m.
The Chelsea Area Historical Society event is free, family-friendly and showcases 1860’s vintage base ball. At 12:30, there will be an exhibition game against community members to be followed by a full game against the Flint Lumber City club at 2 p.m. Here’s a link to a story about the Monitors.
A large pre-1940’s car show is expected along with historical demonstrations to include wool spinning, weaving, vintage printing, chair caning, antique dolls, photograph restoration and conservation.
In addition, there will be old-fashioned games available for the young and young at heart.
Everyone is encouraged to bring a picnic and relax while taking in vintage base ball and other historically entertaining activities. Baked goods, snacks, and beverages will be on sale during the event to supplement a family’s picnic fare.
