 ROCKTON TWP. – Nothing beats a bowl of hot, homemade soup on a cold night in January.

About 40 hearty eaters agreed and stopped by with bowl and utensils in hand to enjoy a Soup Supper at the Rockton Township Historical Society, Monday evening, Jan. 26.

Patrons could choose from six different soups prepared by society members. Crackers, cornbread, an assortment of cookies, coffee and soda completed the menu.

The Soup Supper is an annual event at the museum, located at 529 Green St. in Rockton. Proceeds go toward maintaining the museum and supporting projects during the year.

Museum members have begun cleaning out their basements, garages and attics for an upcoming rummage sale. Next month.

Volunteer Marilyn Mohring said everything from trinkets to, furniture and odds and ends will be for sale. The only items not available will be clothing. The sale is scheduled to be held Saturday, March 14, at the historical society museum, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Donations are welcome.
