Save the Date - Texas Carnival Glass Club Fall Meeting

Saturday, November 16, 2024

Please make plans to join us in Waco, Texas, for our final TCGC meeting of 2024. As a special treat we will visit the McCullough House Museum to view a display of pieces from the Carnival Glass collection of the Historic Waco Foundation. The pieces exhibited for our club will be from a larger collection donated to the foundation by Mr. and Mrs. Roy Rutledge. 
 

The Foundation’s exhibit of carnival glass was previously on display in May of 2020. The following text was posted on the Historic Waco Foundation’s Facebook page on May 22, 2020, to promote a video of the exhibit: 

“The most common color of carnival glass is marigold but we are also mesmerized by these green ones! It goes to show the many variations of carnival glass and why it was such a household staple. Don't forget to check out the video we posted yesterday that gives you a closer look at our exhibit, 'Carnival Glass'."
