It is looking like an entertaining Heritage Stewardship Awards luncheon, Thursday, June 2 from 11:45 to 1:15. Attendees will be able to vote on the Beautiful House Award, given to one of the five nominees this year of homeowners that do an exceptional job of maintaining and improving their “Beautiful House.”

In addition, we will honor the legacy of Kay and Richard Dillard and their children, who saved the Henry Sayles home at South 7th and Sayles. Our very special guest speaker will be Terry Colley, Deputy Executive Director of the Texas Historical Commission. There’s plenty of parking downtown, one block west of the Elks Arts Center location, in the First Baptist parking lot.

Tickets are $45 per person, available online, and by calling us at 325-676-3775. We hope to see you! Proceeds benefit historic preservation in Abilene.

Before, about 1970; it wouldn't be there now
