I've read a few mentions of lunch box socials, but far more about pie socials - where the girl baked a pie or cake and the guys bid on it.<br /><br />How mortifying if you weren't a good cook though!The Dreamstresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897608732348842792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-75169085799414510702011-04-07T12:20:49.842-04:002011-04-07T12:20:49.842-04:00This is so fun and intriguing!

I come from old Vermont families, too... unfortunately all of my grandparents have now passed, but I'll have to ask my parents if they remember any such thing.Miss Molly Manglewoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02390312221285157899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-52491911252118214412011-04-07T09:58:36.036-04:002011-04-07T09:58:36.036-04:00Let's bring back the box social!!!

This kind of reminds me of how in Japan, making a bento (box lunch) for a boy you like is a way of winning them over. Seems like food will always be the way to a man's heart!Miss Emmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251628463640473391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-58831985517175810702011-04-05T18:26:53.860-04:002011-04-05T18:26:53.860-04:00Aw that's such a cute story about how your gra...Aw that's such a cute story about how your grandparents met! <br />My favourite postcard in my collection actually makes reference to a box social. It is from a girl named Elsie to her cousin and she writes about how a cute boy named Jack won her box. I think the postcard was from about 1916.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870435785776540136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-83986097494554244972011-04-05T16:17:27.979-04:002011-04-05T16:17:27.979-04:00stephanie: I MISS GG, too!

Maybe there's one in YOUR area? Worth a google? I know there's a place near here that does an annual Strawberry Social.
