Thank you for museum support

To the editor:
We wish to thank those who showed their support of our museum by attending the grand opening of our new addition.
Visitors arrived well before the 1 p.m. opening time and kept coming in a steady stream for almost three hours. It was by far the largest crowd ever at the museum for a Saturday afternoon open house.
We especially thank Jack Ronald for his front-page article and photo before the event and Rob Weaver for all the coverage he gave us on WPGW.
Thanks also to Ron and Sharlette Cole of Sharlette’s Fudgery for the plate of fudge they provided, and to our board members and their spouses for the other refreshments and help. It is because of the many hours volunteered by our board members and other volunteers that we have been able to set up exhibits in the new addition and make changes to the original part of the museum.
If you missed this event, or want to spend additional time, the museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and will be open from 1 to 4 p.m. May 14.
Also mark your calendars for Sept. 24 and 25 for our 14th annual Heritage Festival. This year, we will be celebrating our state’s 200th birthday.
As always, admission to the museum and festival is free.
Sincerely,
Larry Hiatt and Kay Locker
