Limestone County Historic Society Offers Athens Stadium Keepsake Ornament

It's an annual Christmas tradition in Athens-Limestone Alabama for the Limestone County Historic Society to pick an iconic structure or event from the community and unveil it as a keepsake ornament.   Previous ornaments have included Founders Hall of Athens State University, Athens Grammar School/Greene University; the historic Beaty-Mason Home...
... the College Inn; and the Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Convention.

Joining this special collection of Christmas memory-making ornaments is the Athens Stadium - "Home of the Golden Eagles".

 The ornaments are 24-karat gold-plated brass, feature their year, and are created in a limited run by D'ore Ornament Designs of Smithfield, Rhode Island.  Each ornament comes with paperwork to confirm its provenance including ornament number in the limited run and a historical highlight of Athens Stadium.

The ornament is $15.00 each as sold exclusively at Osbourne's Jewelers in the Eastside Junction Shopping Center at 22099 U.S. Highway 72 in Suite D in Athens.  

Monies from the sale of the ornaments benefits the Limestone County Historical Society and serves as their only annual fundraiser.  You can view previous designs that are still available for purchase at limestonecountyhistoricalsociety.org/html/for_purchase.html
