If you need something to get excited about, this event qualifies! It is time to start thinking about the 10th Annual Blue Earth Wine Walk coming up on Saturday, May 9th, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This event will benefit the Southern Minnesota Museum of Natural History.

Rachel Stange, of Austin, MN, brought her microschool group to the museum last week. "That was the best field trip we have had! The kids cannot stop talking about it."

The museum was happy to have them. The kids were very inquisitive, asked good questions, and had a fun time!

The Triceratops horn is assembled and on display at the museum! We move it around now and then, but here are a few recent shots. The original plan was to do a complete restoration, but in the end voted to keep the horn as it was, so kids could show friends what pieces they attached. The museum would like to thank Paleo Discover for donating the horn. It is a great addition to the museum, and was a fun project!
