Almost Ready

Well, we are about ready to open for the season. The gifts are arriving almost daily and the consigners are starting to bring in their items. The "new" depot room is coming along and hopefully will be ready in time. Our first guests arrived yesterday. Although the closed sign was up, I let them in. One of the couples had just gotten "remarried" at the Little Brown Church. The next thing to do is getting the change for the change drawer and all will be ready.

Raffle starts May 1

Today I picked up our posters. These will be in every bank in Chickasaw County from May 1 to August 4. Our drawing for the grand prize will be at our annual ice cream social on August 13 at the museum. I think the posters look really nice.

Raffle Tickets

I have been to every bank in the county and they have all agreed to sell our raffle tickets for us. That will help us out a lot. The sales will begin on May 1 and the drawing will be August 13, 2006 in conjuction with our annual ice cream social.

Second Sleigh

This is the second sleigh in the museum. It went to Leon today to be restored. He is going to make it the same colors as the one we just sold, so it will be beautiful too. This one will stay in the museum.
