MUSEUM OPEN HOUSE AND VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION EVENT
Held Monday April 13
You guys missed a good one! A small but lively turnout enjoyed a feast for kings, fellowship, and viewed some of the latest videos produced by the museum. The group discussed some of the upcoming plans and new exhibits to be fielded this year.

The museum recently received a donation from the Keith Welch Family of artifacts from NASA that Keith collected when he was an official NASA stenographer. He was there on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong uttered those famous words “One small step for man…” transcribing the radio broadcasts from the moon.

A temporary display has been set up, with a much expanded display planned soon. Follow us on Facebook for the latest happenings and events!

Our Favorite Turkey Jokes

Why did they let the turkey join the band?
Because he had his own drumsticks.

Why did the cranberry blush?
It saw the turkey dressing.

Did you hear about the turkey that plays baseball?
He covers first baste.

I shot my first-ever turkey for Thanksgiving this year.
Sure scared everyone in the grocery store, though.

What did the turkey say to the computer?
"Google, Google!"

Fruit comes from a fruit tree, so where does turkey come from?
A poul-tree.

I used to be addicted to Thanksgiving leftovers.
But I finally quit cold turkey.
