Everyone is invited to the Charleroi Area Historical Society's May 15 program meeting. Walk down Memory Lane and hear about all things Isaly's with Jay Ramsey as our tour guide. His father managed the Charleroi store until it closed.
It will be an evening filled with nostalgia as we recall memories about this iconic gathering place. What's your favorite memory? Your first Sky Scraper ice cream cone or Klondike bar or BBQ sandwich made with "chipped ham"?
Come and hear familiar and little know facts about what made Isaly's the place to go for ice cream, salads, dill pickles and so much more. A slide presentation wonderfully compliments the stories that not only Ramsey will share, but also the ones that members of the audience will add to the conversation. And since light refreshments are always served at these meetings, you won't want to miss the opportunity to have a Sky Scraper ice cream cone (for a small donation)! Other snacks and beverages will also provided for attendees. So, get the word out!
Invite your friends to come with you. Reservations are not needed, but calling to let us know who's coming would be greatly appreciated. Call 724-483- 4961 (the Society headquarters and the historic Gaoziou Print Shop).
