The BCHS presents TELL ME MORE – Notable Women of Brown County

The Brown County Historical Society invites the public to attend “Tell Me More – Notable Women of Brown County” on Thursday, March 30th at the New Ulm Best Western Plus. Dinner is at 6 pm and the program begins at 7 pm. Come dressed in 1940s-1960s attire and qualify for a door prize drawing.

Cameo appearances will include actors portraying: Doris Aufderheide, longtime news personality on KNUJ radio. Doris will share delicious recipes and also bites of the latest news. Barbara Dorn, correspondent on KLGR radio and announcer for Springfield local television will spread the news from that area. Arline Schmiesing, author and newspaper columnist for the Hanska Herald will share her knowledge of Hanska history and current events. Elizabeth Scobie will be on hand from Sleepy Eye to alert you to all of the news from this active community. Elizabeth had a long career as a journalist for the Sleepy Eye Herald and the New Ulm Journal. Returning to share bits of gossip and introduce the above women will be the notable Rosa Penning Schnobrich, founder of Schnobrichs Meat Market in New Ulm.

This program is made possible with support from the Marjorie F. Gislason speaker series, sponsored by Dan and Nancy Gislason.
