Borscht Belt Artifacts: Relics of the Catskill Resort Age
Thursday, October 17, 7:00pm
Did you ever visit one of the famous Catskill Resort hotels of Sullivan or Ulster Counties? Do you remember the golf courses and swimming pools, well-manicured lawns, ballrooms, and theaters? Of course, we cannot also forget the famous or someday-to-be famous comedians and other performers who entertained the guests and the delicious food that has traveled around the world.
Come relive these memories and join Alex Prizgintas on Thursday, October 17 at 7:00pm for a presentation on “Borscht Belt Artifacts: Relics from the Catskill Resort Age.” This program will cover a broad history of the Borscht Belt extending back to the earliest records of summer agricultural colonies in the late 1830s. From here, Alex will showcase five unique items from his personal collection that all have a special place amidst the hearts and hands that shaped this region of New York.
