We had a wonderful season, learning and teaching others about bees and our history, selling lots of books in our used book sale, displaying and selling tickets for a beautiful quilt, which was awarded to a lucky woman from Texas, and meeting new friends. Thank you.

We are preparing for Holiday Sparkles, when our museum and all the museums at Powerland will be decorated with lights and displays. We will advise here and in direct emails, if we have your email, when our decorating days will be. Come and join the fun!
Remember, it is a FREE drive through event, with volunteers providing cookies and cocoa or tea at Santa Land, on the weekends in December. Help us decorate, and/or come and enjoy the beautiful displays!
