The Beauty of Hershey Chocolate Artwork
On March 23, local historian and collector, Neil Fasnacht, will share numerous examples of colorful and iconic Hershey Chocolate artwork from his personal collection. Many pieces were created to help introduce the Hershey name as a public, as well as aid the retail trade in advertising and promoting its products. Using what Neil affectionately calls “eye candy”, he will share a fast array of images from the late 1800s through the 1960s; including trading cards, intricate window displays, colorful posters and more. Additionally, he will bring along examples of the original artwork itself.
When: March 23, 7 p.m.
Where: HAHS Parish House (20 N Rosanna St. Hummelstown, PA. 17036)
