The McHenry County Historical Society will host a monthlong quilt show starting with its annual Holiday Open House from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3, at the historical museum, 6422 Main St. in Union.

Holiday themed or colored quilts are featured in the monthlong show, "Rock Around the Quilted Tree." Prizes will be awarded to the quilt makers, regardless of experience, both amateur and professional.

The open house features free admission to the museum that day, as well as music, a bake sale and other surprises.

Veteran Christmas memorabilia collectors Dave Harms and Lynne Eltrevoog are once again collaborating to deck the halls of the museum and stage in holiday finery for your viewing enjoyment.

Regular admission, $5 or $3 for seniors and students, applies for the remainder of the month, following the open house.

The museum will open from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, with the exception of Dec. 23, 26 and 30.
