One Book Bradford
Glass Heritage Luncheon Next Month

The next event for One Book Bradford is sure to be a “glass act.”

Tickets are now on sale for the Glass Heritage Luncheon, which is set to begin at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, March 3, at the First Presbyterian Church in Bradford. This is the second event in this year’s One Book Bradford season, a community-wide reading initiative. This year’s selection is “Clara and Mr. Tiffany” by Susan Vreeland.

The day, which will consist of a buffet-style lunch of chili, cornbread, dessert, coffee and tea, will also include displays of glass art, including sculptures, panels, mosaics, lamps and tools.

Diane Arnett will give a presentation showcasing examples of stained glass and methods of production. The exhibitors are James C. Zetts, Kathleen Karrasch, Gina Zetts, Cheryl Thomas and Arnett.

Those interested can also take optional walking tours of churches in the immediate area. Tim Roff will conduct a tour of the First United Methodist Church; Francie Long will do a tour of St. Bernard Catholic Church. Walkers can then return to the First Presbyterian Church for a tour led by Rev. Lee Beckes.

An ongoing slide show will feature stained glass windows from churches throughout Bradford.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at Grandma’s House Teas & Gifts from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets will also be available at the door.

Vreeland will be in Bradford for an author visit May 1 at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. That event will be free and open to the public.
