Hope Kiwanis Hears Program on Paul W. Klipsch Birthday Bash Set for This Weekend
The Hope Kiwanis Club heard a program about the upcoming Paul W. Klipsch Birthday Bash set for Friday and Saturday (3-7 and 3-8) in Hope. Jim Hunter and Ginny Webb Sanders brought the program.
Hunter showed slides detailing the restoration to the former Feild home at Pine & Division which serves as home to the Klipsch Museum of Audio History. Hunter had “before” and “after” slides showing the work that has been done and the various rooms at the museum which detail various decades in the production of Klipsch speakers. Hunter also had pictures and history on the former residents of the house during the time the Feilds owned it.
Ginny Webb Sanders gave the Kiwanis Club details of the Birthday Bash. Most of the events are free and the public is welcome. Here’s the schedule for this weekend’s events…
