Finally, thank you to everyone from the community who came out to bid, just to see, to eat supper, or merely to talk with your friends at our event. It’s always a fun time.
Your continued support for over 40 years has allowed us to collect, preserve, teach, and share our local history with children and adults from across the region, the state, the country, and even around the world. It’s our shared love for this connection to the past that drives us toward the future. Thank you, everyone in our community, once again!
We’ll see you at our Haystack Luncheon on June 14!
