This classic example of Soviet science fiction is a seriously intense tale of a man who risks his life and freedom to smuggle artifacts out of mysterious “Zones” where aliens landed. ~ Goodreads
Prohibition and the Fashion of the Roaring Twenties
Adults
Wednesday, Nov. 5, 7 p.m.
The times influence our culture and style. See how Prohibition and the carefree days of the Great Gatsby era changed how we dressed. During this exciting time in history, women, who were finally granted the right to vote in 1920, shed the confining skirts and corsets that literally “kept them tied” to home and hearth. Historian Kate Butler will bring a wide variety of clothing, accessories, and original photography for your enjoyment.
