The museum will sell a 2026 calendar again this year. It will have the Community Hall on the front cover with 1940’s & 50-s businesses for the months. They will sell for $10.00 and will be a nice Christmas present.
Jan Patrick reported that Book 10, the Veitnam Experiences Book is available for purchase at the Library, Paulie’s Cafe and the museum. The cost is $20.00 for the 300+ page book. Each vets experiences were so unique that it is an interesting read.
