To EVERYONE who helped make today's Strawberry Festival a SUCCESS --- THANK YOU!

LOST/FOUND:
One of our visitors left a pair of large black sunglasses at the FOOD TICKETS TABLE. They are being kept in the office. If they are yours please call the museum and leave a message if no one answers. We will call you back to verify they are yours and when you can come pick them up. We hope they find their way back to their rightful owner!

Sincerely,
Zemar G. Gonzalez
