KELSEYVILLE — The Ely Stage Stop and Country Museum will host its Picnic on the Porch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on June 14th in celebration of the arrival of summer.
Live music of the Stage Coach Era will be performed by Don Coffin and friends and caterer Rosey Cooks will offer seasonal box lunches and dessert. Docents will serve lemonade or attendees can bring their own wine. A silent auction and a raffle will also be held. Bids and raffle tickets will be accepted through lunch, with items awarded before the end of the afternoon. Lunch will begin at noon.
During the event, the main house will showcase a quilt display loaned by Wilma Taylor and Victorian-style beaded flowers and jewelry created by Ellen Dills. Select beaded pieces will be available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the museum. In addition to the stage coach and retired San Francisco cable car, seldom seen pieces of historic farm equipment can be viewed by attendees in the barn and on the grounds.
