Step back to the Bel Air of the 1930s and 1940s with authors Thomas Guercio and Diana Guercio Prentice. Learn about the days of the Bel Air Race Track, the “Graw,” boxing at the Armory, poker at the Argonne, and gambling at “The Hole.” These good old days included bookmaking, moonshine, and so much more.
Guercio’s story is told through the reminiscences of George Van Bibber, a friend of the authors’ father. Sam Guercio, an Italian immigrant, settled in Bel Air in 1932. Several of his family members were already residents and local business owners. If you are of a certain age, you may remember visiting Sam’s Barbershop, the family’s Shoe Repair shop on Burns Alley, Guercio’s Grocery Store, or perhaps Sam & Gorrell’s bookmaking parlor in Fallston. This promises to be a fascinating story. The event is free. Registration is encouraged. Books will be available for purchase. Please visit our website at harfordhistory.org
