🚨 TWO TABLES LEFT. THAT’S IT. 🚨

Star Seekers registration closes TONIGHT, and we are down to the final two tables.

If you’ve been thinking about it, talking about it, waiting to see who else is going...

This is your moment.

Once these tables are gone, they’re gone. No last-minute scramble. No “maybe they can squeeze us in.”

And when September 11 rolls around and your feed is full of auction wins, bragging rights, Star Waiter antics, and all the moments everyone is talking about, you are going to wish you had been in the room.

⭐ Star Waiters
🎉 New games + surprises
🏆 Incredible prizes
🔥 Big live auction experiences
😂 One wildly fun night

Two tables. One night. Last chance.

Do. Not. Miss. This.

YOU DID IT! 🎉

We are now down to $667,000 left in our campaign, and yes, that update absolutely deserved sidewalk chalk.

Thank you to everyone who continues to give, share, cheer us on, and help move Grand Forks Children’s Museum forward. Every step matters, every gift matters, and this community keeps showing up in the best ways.

And before the kids ask: yes, we saw the 6-7. No, we still don’t fully understand it. But if it helps us celebrate campaign progress, we’re in!

What do you remember about the museums you visited as a child?

For GFCM Board Member Natalie Muth, some of those memories are still vivid, including an exhibit where she could watch live bees come inside and see how they lived and worked.

Those experiences are part of why she sees so much value in creating a children’s museum here in Grand Forks.

In this week’s Board Member Series, Natalie talks about the importance of giving children opportunities for year-round play, creativity and exploration, with experiences spanning technology, aeronautics and so much more.

Hear from Natalie about why she chose to be part of GFCM and what she hopes the museum will spark for the children who walk through its doors.

Well... THAT changed quickly. 👀

Day 1 of precast wall installation is underway, and suddenly, the Grand Forks Children's Museum is looking a whole lot more like a museum.

One giant crane. Some VERY big walls. And this is only the beginning.

Keep watching this week. You're going to want to see where we are by Friday. 🤩
