We note with sadness the passing of long-time Hatfield resident and globally known author Jane Yolen, Her words and work have touched so very many people, locally and around the world. In the collection, we have a feature about Jane from the AARP Bulletin, July/August 1998. She will be missed.

Arts & crafts in the Farm Museum! Sometimes it takes getting really creative to understand what we're looking at. Elliot and Annika had to build a temporary mock-up of an approximation of a horse's body in order to determine how this harness was supposed to lay, and if we have all the pieces. Too bad Al Rejniak isn't around to make another frame like he did back in 1995! I hear a rumor there's something in the works though, so not to worry.

Happy May Day! As well as an international celebration of workers everywhere, this day has been a traditional day to enjoy the delights of spring, flowers, and gardening! Did you know that local author Betty Michaluk (pen name Betty Brinhart) wrote very popular gardening booklets throughout the 1950s and 1960s?? She and her husband Joe met in a WWII Army photography group, and he wound up taking the photos to accompany her writing. It's a great day to get outside and see what's blooming!
