Main Street Monroe, c1918
We are very pleased to announce that Lynnette Warrick was the proud winner of the 2011 quilt raffle! What made this an extra special surprise was that Lynnette’s mother, Wanda Lou Benninghoff (1931-2007), was one of the original quilters who worked on this project for the Historical Society! We couldn’t be happier that Lynnette came to own a beautiful piece of her mothers passion and joy.
