Quilt Bed Turning: The Belton Historical Sociey presents a Bed Turning program from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, October 13, at Random’s Coffee, 406 Main Street, Belton. At this traditional event, more than a dozen quilts of historical significance or artistic merit will be displayed. The quilts will be placed on a bed in the center of the coffee shop, and each will be turned back slowly by volunteers while a host discusses its details. The quilts will be from the area. This event is open to the public and free. Random’s will sell coffee and other beverages at its regular prices during the event. Then, at the society’s next general meeting at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, October 25, a video of the Bed Turning will be shown to recap the event, and a few of the quilts will be on display.
