Marilyn Horne was born in 1934. Summertime was filled with picnics, children playing outdoors, and music in the gazebo. The ladies from the Historical Society had their bake sale and American cars with white-walled tires rolled along Main Street, according to the Marilyn Horne Museum.

The Marilyn Horne museum is hoping to capture the essence of the summertime of Horne’s earliest years with the Good Old Summertime Festival to be held on the property at 2 Main St. on June 9 from noon until 6 p.m.

There will be ambience of an older era in the smells, sounds and visual surroundings of patrons as their ears are filled with live music, noses with the smell of traditional fair-food and the sight of costumed individuals and classic cars.

“We are encouraging people to dress for the event in costumes, outfits from their favorite era from the 20s through the 50s,” said Matthew Hileman, director of the museum.

The Monumental Brass Quintet from Washington D.C. will be performing. The group has performed at Wolf Trap Theater in the Woods, the Kennedy Center, the Smithsonian museums, and concert halls across the United States. The award-winning ensemble also performs for thousands of school-aged children each year.

The Bradford Landmark Society will be joining the festival to host an old fashioned bake sale, with homemade treats to support the Historical Society.

Kaleidoscope Korner, hosted by the University of Pittsburgh Bradford Art’s Program, will be dedicated to the children with an array of kids’ activities, face painting, balloon animals and works of art.

There will also be food and more; a selection of fair-style foods will be available for purchase including: hamburgers, hot dogs, homemade chips, cotton candy, popcorn, pretzel sticks and craft sodas.

There will be six barrels of flavored craft sodas all loaded on a covered “chuck” wagon.

Inside the museum will also be bustling with many craft-artisan vendors; Gatsby & Bootlegger will also be in attendance as one of the indoor vendors, Hileman explained.
