• • Commemorating the county's 150-plus years of history by displaying several dozen superb hand-sewn vintage quilts will certainly attract attention and attendance. The exhibit began on Tuesday, 1 March 2011 at the Anoka County Historical Society, said Vickie Wendel, the society's program manager. Though most of these quilts were assembled decades ago, Ms. Wendel described one of the two modern quilts in this array as a Women's History project created by the students from Anoka High School. Each square was designed to celebrate a different inspirational woman: Mae West, artist Georgia O'Keeffe, broadcaster Barbara Walters, singer Diana Ross, and the Statue of Liberty, among other notable female icons.
