👀If you went by the museum this morning, you may have seen a bucket truck and workers out there. This is an early step to our "Save the Storms" project on the original Carnegie Library building. Some are broken and/or very fragile. To make the building safe to exhibit artifacts and more energy efficient, this is a very important process.

🪟We have removed the storms from the front of the building and will continue to prep them with the help of some of our amazing volunteers. We still need more help with this project.

📅The "Save the Storms" Workshop will be held Oct 9-11, 8am-5pm. Learn a new skill and help your community! Materials and equipment will be provided, along with lunch, water and snacks.

☑️Register with Director Christine Cross by Sept. 14th

A great big THANK YOU to Hucklberry Acres Campground for sponsoring our Messy Science: Pollinator Garden! 🌱🌾🐝🦋

Their sponsorship helped cover the costs of the plants and gardening equipment. Everyone had a great time and some kids were happy to plant as many as they could. Their enthusiasm was infectious! We can't wait to see what it looks like in the years to come.
