Lanterns Light Private Homes At Tercentenary Celebration
Reading back in the 1880 bi centennial accounts the illumination featured brightly colored Japanese lanterns on private homes porches and grounds. It is likely this festive lantern display will recur during the four day Tercentenary and Fourth of July celebration.
Lanterns to Light Park Party With Electric Glow
Plans are under way to use lan terns at the block party and James Duffy reports he has taken orders from local residents. The shift from candles to electric lighting marks a change since 1880, as Japanese lanterns fade from use. A writer recalls helping with preparations in youth and the pride of lighting the fragile lanterns without causing fire.
