Columns hosts scouting sleepovers

MILFORD — You don’t have to look far to find a place with programming for kids. Milford’s own Pike County Historical Society has been entertaining kids of all ages for years. A popular activity has been Brownie and Girl Scout Sleepovers. The Historical Society has hosted many of these, for the various troops in the Tri-State area, and it has become quite popular. The guests usually arrive at 6 p.m. on a Friday evening. Pizza is the dinner of choice for most troops, and following dinner the scouts are treated to two hours of programming courtesy of the Museum Director, Lori Strelecki. The programming offered is innovative and educational, as well as being fun for the scouts and chaperones. Activities include a scavenger hunt for history and a hands-on experience with some of the artifacts in the Museum. The girls are often most enthusiastic over trying on period dress and parading in a “fashion show” using the reproduction clothing in the Museum’s wardrobe. The next day is usually a rough one for the leaders, as it isn’t always easy to get a good night’s sleep at a “sleepover”. For more information on programming offered at The Pike County Historical Society’s museum contact Lori at 570-296-8918.
