Quilt Raffle Ticket Sale – Old Deerfield Fall Festival
100 stars for 100 years - Raffle tickets for a chance for this queen-sized, 100 percent cotton, designed with a color palette and pattern popular in the early 1900s will be sold at booth D26 at the Old Deerfield Craft Fair. Tickets are $1 for one, $5 for six and $10 for 18. Last summer, local residents Janet Uden, Janet Ward, Irene Price, Judy Rose, Grace Nowakoski and Nancy Maynard sewed together the 100 stars and accompanying "flying geese" onto fabric blocks to produce this commemorative quilt. A new display rack is also part of the prize.

September 18, 2017 -Accidental Benefactor: The Life and Times of Chauncey B. Tilton and How Deerfield Got Its Library
Accidental Benefactor: The Life and Times of Chauncey B. Tilton and How Deerfield Got Its Library
“Accidental Benefactor” will explore the life and times of local storekeeper Chauncey Tilton and the circumstances that led to the construction of the building that bears his name. The program, offered as part of Tilton Library’s 100th Anniversary celebration, is free and open to the public. Kate Hayes, a member of the 100th Anniversary Committee who has been researching the Tilton family for the past year, will give the talk. “My original intention was simply to create a short biography of Chauncey Tilton to include with our anniversary year documentation. However, I soon got caught up in doing more extensive genealogical research. I look forward to sharing what I have learned so far about Tilton’s life and the intersecting story of how Deerfield got its library.”
