The Fairfax Historical Society will be meeting Sunday August 21st at 6:30pm in the Fairfax Community Library.
The program for the evening will be an interactive unit called The Thousand Word Project.
Based on the idea that "a picture is worth a thousand words", everyone will be able to observe an old picture(below) of Gaut Falls, later known as Fairfax Falls. Those observations will be recorded and noted, and in the end, a tally taken, to see if a picture really IS worth a thousand words. The actual picture, in a frame is quite large.
The agenda for the meeting is below the picture.
The public is invited to attend. For more information, call 849-6638

Just a reminder about the meeting Sunday evening. Am hoping for a good turnout. We will post the observations here on Henry's forum, and I will give the Messenger a call to see if they want to publish the observations as well. They did publish the picture and meeting info in the Saturday edition. Looked good!
