Museum program is on Sunday, Jan. 13

The third of the Fayette County Museum's Season of Events will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 13, in the Vandalia First United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall.
Dennis A. Stroughmatt of Albion will play traditional music on the fiddle and relate the French history in Illinois and Missouri. This lively medley of music, language, stories and culture – once secreted away in the Missouri Ozarks and other Midwestern French river towns – now has a voice in the modern world.
Single event tickets are available in advance from board members and at the Fayette County Museum for $13 or at the door for $15. Tickets for students ages 7-18 are half price. Call 283-4866 to order tickets.
Refreshments will be served after the presentation.
