Great Day in the Sun!




Oh, Sunday was a glorious day! We threw the gates open wide and invited any and all to enjoy the Museum on our annual Open House day. Hundreds of people came out on what seemed a sort of unofficial 'baby buggy day.' Lots of families, lots of kids, lots of special moments.

We enjoyed great food from Tino's Tacos and some extraordinarily fine weather. It is one of our most fun days from a staff point of view, as everyone gets their money's worth. When the weather is as delightful as it was, things just click along.

Visitors got a chance to see our construction project underway, the models of what things will look like when we're all done, and just how different things look when there's no building where the old one used to be. That situation changed radically in the past few days ... the constuction gang spent the latter part of last week building frames for walls ... on Monday, they began putting them up. A drive-by would show you the general outlines of the project and the fact that there really will be a new Museum entrance before too long (late October/early November if we stay on schedule).
