The Waseca County History Center has planned a multi-event fundraising day on Saturday, August 23 at the Waseca County Fairgrounds.
More collectors are needed for the first event, the “Herter’s Swap Meet,” 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Building #4. Larry Born, a Waseca native and lifelong Herter’s collector, is donating the use of tables for any and all collectors who would like to participate. This means there are no table rental fees as previously advertised. However, registration is necessary.
Doug Lodermeier and Jeff Hedtke, noted authorities on Herter’s collectibles, will display their collections and possibly be swapping, buying and selling.Stop by the Waseca County History Center, 315 2nd Avenue N.E., Waseca, MN or call 507-835-7700 to register. Attending the Swap Meet, the first ever Herter’s Swap Meet, is still $5 per person. There will be free coffee and donuts at 9 a.m. for the first 100 attendees.
The “Craft BeerFest” is at 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Beer Garden next door. There will be food vendors on site, and beer on tap, in addition to the craft beer tastings. In the evening, also in the Beer Garden at 6:30 p.m., is the final event, the “1960s Rock & Roll Revue.”
Tickets are now on sale at the Waseca County History Center and online. Tickets will also be on sale at the door.
