We're still learning how to set up this blog. It is, quite obviously, a work in progress. We have added the calendar on the left which is supposed to automatically update as the months change. Size of the calendar is limited by the blog program. It obviously doesn't have room for what's going on to be put on the actual calendar. We've always posted the events below the calendar and are continuing to do so.

As you can see from the events, the museum board did decide to hold another dance. It will be on Monday night, October 18, from 7:00-10:00 again and will feature Pat Meade and the Cowboy Country Band. There is a $10.00 per couple cover charge for the dance. Food concessions will be available beginning at 6:00 P.M.

We'd like to thank everyone who came out Friday night (the 17th) for the dance and concessions.  And we'd especially like to thank Pat Meade and the Cowboy Country Band for the music.  We think we can safely say a good time was had by all.

The museum addition is up.  At the moment we're waiting on heat and air installation.  Although we were under the impression that our existing heating/air conditioning system was enough to handle the new additon, we have been informed that impression was wrong!  So we are currently using the unfinished area for fund-raising.  We had the dance last Friday and are talking about having another one, perhaps in October?  No decisions on that yet.  We are inviting crafters and vendors to set up a Christmas Bazaar on Saturday, November 13th and hope you will consider coming to sell your items.  And we definitely want you to come to the Bazaar to browse and to buy!

We're switching from the old web site to this new blogspot this month.  We'll leave the old site up until the first of the year with a link to get from it to here.  We think this will allow us to update more often and keep the site current and fresh.  It's new to all of us so wish us luck.
