Once upon a time in Fullerton
Peter and Charlie Dent spoke about their
family’s manufacturing legacy at the National Museum of Industrial History 602
E. Second St., Dec. 14. They described how their great-grandfather, Henry H.
Dent, and his business partners founded the Dent Hardware Company in 1894. The Fullerton-based business produced hardware
for refrigerators and cold storage units in their brass and iron foundries, as
well as other specialty items. Between 1898 and 1937, the company added cast
iron toys to its product line. Photo: Brothers Peter and Charlie Dent with an exhibition
of antique cast iron toys manufactured by their family’s namesake hardware
business. Hosted by the National Museum of Industrial History the exhibit
continues through Jan. 12.

Peace Pilgrimage marks 60th
year
A tradition created over 60 years ago continued Dec. 14
as the Christmas Peace Pilgrimage made its way from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Over
90 pilgrims came out to spread the message of world peace as they walked nearly
10 miles from start to finish. Each year the walk starts at Nazareth Moravian
Church and finishes at Christ United Church of Christ, taking approximately six
hours to complete. Photo: Diane Buckly-Maidt and her
husband, Dave Maidt, travel all the way from Maryland to participate in the
peace walk each year. Diane has been walking since 1985, involving her husband
10 years later, and calling it their “Christmas tradition.”

Two Pates win holiday
wrestling crowns
It was
Bethlehem Holiday Wrestling Classic that Freedom won’t forget any time soon.
The
Patriots came away with two champions from the area’s top holiday tournament
and a top 10 team finish to give them a boost of confidence heading into 2020. Freshman
CJ Horvath (106) and senior Luis Vargas (120) became the first Patriot
wrestlers to take home gold medals since Rodney Sigley won the tournament in
2004. Head coach Dante Terenzio knew it was a long time since the last time the
program had crowned champions, making the championship afternoon a milestone
day for the program.
