LAKEPORT – On Feb. 28, members and guests packed the house to hear Karan Mackey’s delightful discussion of the history of Lakeport, and the city’s relation to the rest of the county.

Mackey’s presentation was a joy to attend, and her Victorian-era costume was endearing, despite the scandalous sight of her ankles.

Many thanks to Karan for sharing her stories and extensive collection of early photographs.

Following the presentation, the crowd enjoyed a bountiful assortment of treats, thanks to the many members who brought goodies to share with the group.

The society also thanks the Historic Courthouse Museum for hosting this event. It is always a pleasure to be in that building and peruse the fascinating displays.

Our next general membership meeting will be Sunday, April 25. More information will follow, but mark your calendars.

And don’t forget our upcoming yard sale at the Nice Clubhouse. We are holding that event on May 29 and 30, so start saving your pennies and box up your most valuable junk!

For more information call Jean Beeson at 707-263-1372.

Franklin Ley is the Lake County Historical Society's publicity chair.
