MAKING BASKETS at Messiah Lutheran Church in
Ripon, WI were, from left, Sharon J. of Princeton, Dawn W. of Princeton, Sue A.
of Wild Rose, Ann Z. of Brandon, and Denise B. of Rosendale.
Dawn W. of
Princeton was visiting Old World Wisconsin, Eagle, WI last summer when
she had a revelation. She was sitting
on a park bench and a lady was there with her basket, dressed in full, late 1800s garb depicting the frontier Wisconsin image the state museum projects.
A basket, mind
you, will get Dawn’s attention. After all, she’s one of about 25 members of the
Silver Creek Basket Guild, which meets the first Thursday of the month at
Messiah Lutheran Church in Ripon.
Dawn struck
up a conversation with the woman and one thing lead to another. That was step
one toward the Silver Creek Basket Guild’s first public service project.
