KELSEYVILLE >> The Lake County Historical Society (LCHS) will hold its barbecue meeting on June 21 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. at the Ely Stage Stop & Country Museum.
Being that the meeting falls on Father’s Day, the LCHS welcomes and honors all dads, grandfathers and great-grandfathers.
The highlight of the meeting will be the dedication of a plaque honoring Randy Ridgel, whose drive and vision helped bring about the Ely Stage Stop & Country Museum. Ridgel served as LCHS president for about eight and a half years and left a significant legacy of service to the society.
Patrick Ridgel will talk about the San Francisco cable car that is on display at the Ely Stage Stop Museum. The cable car lived at the Lake County Fairgrounds for many years and now makes its home at the Ely.
The LCHS will supply hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, plates, utensils, napkins, bottled water and soft drinks. Bring a dish to share. If a dish needs to be cold keep it on ice. There is no charge for LCHS members; admission for guests is $5 at the door. If guests join the LCHS at the barbecue, the $5 will apply to their memberships.
For more information contact Bonnie Skee at 262-1432 or Jackie Ridgel at 279-4062.
