The Roaring Twenties...Bradford style

It's the bee's knees! Our final meeting for the Literary Club of Bradford took place this afternoon at the Bradford Club. The theme was the Roaring Twenties and the girls were sitting pretty with their flapper get-up! We enjoyed a fabulous meal...a salad of oranges, red onion and fennel with mustard vinaigrette, pork rollup with a caper lemon stuffing, a potato pave , and a wonderful filled sponge cake roll.

After our business meeting Sally Costic, a local historian, gave a humorous and informative talk on speakeasies, murders, and the goings-on in our progressive town during that era. Did you know that The Jazz Singer, the first "talkie" premiered in Bradford on the same day it hit New York City? And that we had an active Klu Klux Klan group, which insisted at that time it was just a social club, (despite burning a cross on the top of the hill). There were many gangster killings during that time.

We had a wonderful afternoon of fun! Our club meets from October to March. As President this year I felt that we had many great programs and a lot of great times.

To gain access to the "speakeasy" you had to know the password. Those who didn't were penalized by performing the Charleston in front of the group.
