Two presenters, Roger Huston, the long-time announcer, and Jay Wolf, unofficial historian of the Little Brown Jug harness race, will be featured at the next community program offered by the Delaware County Historical Society. Following their comments, audience members will be asked to share their own stories about the race which will be recorded as part of the Little Brown Jug Oral History Project, a digital archive for capturing and sharing local community history.
The program will be held Thursday, September 12, at the Barn at Stratford, 2690 Stratford Rd., Delaware, starting at 7 PM.
Attendees are encouraged to bring race mementos (photographs, programs, etc.) that can be added to the DCHS collection. Doors will open at 6 PM and members of the Collections Committee will be available to document the donations.
