Dave recently completed a course in
Mixology! For the past several years, he has
presented workshops on historic beverages for private
clients. Now, he announces a formal title for his
program: "The Lure and Lore of Liquor: Tavern
Beverages of the American Revolution."
The program answers the age old question "What was
fueling the debates between the Sons of Liberty or the
Virginia Burgesses?" His presentation includes
discussion of the various types of beverages available
to the 18th Century tavern tippler, how they
were made, and even some recipes that you can try on
your own (if you dare). Discover our forefathers’
alternative to the modern Mohito and Martini, and what
Ben Franklin considered “The Proof of God’s Love.”

"Are you married?" Folks often ask us if we are
husband and wife. "No, but we play them on TV," we like
to say. Stacy and Dave began performing occasionally
together in 1992, and launched History on the Hoof
in 1996 In 2008, Stacy married John Niemiec of
Fairless Hills, PA, a military history enthusiast and
reenactor of many different time periods. If you
hear of Stacy Flora Roth-Niemiec and
Stacy Roth Niemiec, they are one in the same person.
Stacy has named her new defense worker character "Rose
Helen Niemiec" in honor of her new husband. It's
pronounced "NIMIK," btw.
