One-A-Chord to perform at Victorian Family Fun Day The Belmont County Historical Society invites you to take a visit into the Victorian past by joining us on Sunday, Aug. 15 from 2- 6 p.m. for a Victorian Family Fun Day. The events include the first annual Summer Croquet Invitational, an Ice Cream Social, a Cake Walk and One-A-Chord performing at 3 p.m. The Fun Day will be held at the Belmont County Victorian Mansion Museum , 532 N. Chestnut Street , Barnesville , Ohio . One-A-Chord a capella quartet is a vocal blend of musical talent from Barnesville , Ohio . Their spontaneous humor and audience interaction makes each performance delightfully unique. The popular group began as a gospel quartet in October 2000. Over the years, the group has shown versatility by adding Oldies and doo wop, patriotic and barbershop to their repertoire. The quartet includes baritone Tony Huntsman, high tenor Terry McCort, lead singer Tyler McCort and Brad Wilson who sings bass. The group will perform at 3 p.m. Bring your lawn chair and enjoy the music. Croquet came to the United States in the 1860's and took hold almost immediately. It was only surpassed by tennis and golf in the years before World War I. Several Barnesville Churches have indicated they will compete for the Mansion Museum 's traveling "Golden Croquet Ball Trophy" to be awarded to the team that finishes first. Participation ribbons will be given to all team members. The Croquet Invitational is open to all who wish to participate. Visitors will be able to tour the Mansion Museum with its displays of Victorian family life: antique heirloom items from Grandma's Attic, needlework and china painting, nature collections and floral arrangements. Regular admission fees apply. Bring the family and join us for an afternoon of fun and music. Enjoy a 50 cent hot dog, a 50 cent dish of Kirk's ice cream, a 10 cent drink and experience a summer afternoon before America had shopping malls, Interstate 70, computers and microwave ovens.
