Thank you to everyone that attended this year’s event! A very special thank you to our bakers, judges and volunteers! We couldn’t do it without you. And thank you to our sponsors, and those that donated basket and silent auction items. We are grateful for your generosity! Your donation will help us continue to perserve, collect and teach the history of the Mahoning Valley! See you all next year!
Nothing says “Youngstown” like the wedding cookie table. Born out of necessity by immigrant families who could not afford a wedding cake, this tasty tradition has been handed down for generations in the diverse ethnic community that is Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley.
Cookie Table and Cocktails, MVHS’ signature fundraising event, was created to pay tribute to this beloved custom, and provide needed support for Historical Society programs, projects, and collections.
