Senior Brunch and Learn: Rum-running StoriesTuesday, Dec. 10
9:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M.
During this monthly series for active aging adults, participants will have opportunities to meet our on-site educators, listen to guest presenters and take part in various natural resource-themed activities. All programs begin at 9 a.m. and include pastries, coffee and tea upon entry. At 9:30 a.m., presentations will begin, so sit back and enjoy your snack during an exciting and informative program, then wrap up with time to explore the OAC exhibits.
The Detroit River was a pretty busy place during Prohibition. With tremendous amounts of illegal liquor entering the United States from Canada during the 1920’s and early 1930’s, stories abound. Join some young “old timers” as we travel back to the era of blind pigs, rum-running and panther sweat.
Our friends from the Lake Erie Metropark Marshlands Museum are joining us to present this fascinating program. Participants are encouraged to tell a few stories of your own!
Cost is $8 per person; payment can be made for groups or individuals. Preregistration is required.
