Stop by Harry’s Coffee Bar at the Frankfort Community Public Library on Saturday, February 8 anytime from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to see Ostler slides that have been digitized as a part of the Clinton County: Fun in the ʼ50s project. The focus for the third year of this project has been digitizing slides that James Ostler took at school activities and class reunions. Harry’s will be open for business, so you can warm up with a chai or coffee, eat a snack, and enjoy the slideshow. Also, let us know if you can identify anyone in the slides.
This project is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Indiana State Library.
