Last Week’s Program

Ronnie Coffey, Author of a book  “Highlands, 2006”, on the History of the Town of Highlands, gave a very interesting picture on the Town of Highlands dating back to its early years. She had a slide presentation, which recalled early businesses, names, and incidents that had the viewers mesmerized. Ronnie sold some books and autographed them. Great program.
