Valentine’s Day at Jasper County Community Center

There were plenty of smiles and heart cookies eaten at the Jasper County Community Center as Lelah Main of the Jasper County Historical Society talked about the history of Valentine’s Day.

She discussed various card styles for Valentine’s Day, including a picture of a giant cat with a heart from the 1960s.

“My mother passed away at 98, and she went to auctions,” Lelah said. “She didn’t collect them (Valentine’s Day cards), but they were found at her house.”
