Colonial Ball Recreates 18th Century Night in Nelson Commons
Athens County turnout for the 1976 Colonial Ball sponsored by the Athens County Bicentennial Commission filled Nelson Commons with candlelit tables and period costumes. Committees led by Mr and Mrs John Good and Mrs William Lavelle showcased authentic menus, dance programs from Ohio University archives, and handmade napkin rings. A string ensemble and student dancers performed a graceful minuet as the Ohio University Air Force color guard directed the grand march.
