River Falls library seeks area wedding dresses with a story. (Hudson Star-Observer, 9/2/2011)
Excerpt: It’s a given that every bride is beautiful, but over the decades wedding costumes and customs have varied.
Jera Terreng and Rita Kozak suspect that many area residents may have, stored in a back closet somewhere, dresses or suits that exemplify an era or come with a unique back story. Please bring them out, they ask.
“We’re looking for dresses that have a story,” said Kozak, who will be curating a wedding dress and accessory display at the River Falls Public Library’s lower level gallery.
“In the gallery we try to have a nice mix of art and history,” said Terreng, the library’s events and gallery coordinator. She said many of the exhibits are “hard-core history,” and added, “It’s really fun to show people a cut of local history and culture.”
She said she wants to balance the library’s exhibit year with a bit of regional history. And, Terreng said, the wedding exhibit “seemed like a lovely thing to do around the holidays.”
The show will open Dec. 17 and run through Jan. 26, 2012, but Kozak wants to know soon what’s stored in area closets.
