PLEASE NOTE: STREET CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
THE NEW DRIVEWAY IS DONE!!!
(It’s right where the old one was.)
Public parking for the Cream Can Supper will mostly be on grassy areas on museum property (see “P” on map below)
and you may park along the city streets. There will be signs showing access.
Handicapped and nursing home van parking will be close to the museum buildings.
2nd St W is blocked at Central Ave so if you come in on Central Ave please turn at 1st St and go west. Red X’s show the part of 2nd St W that is closed.
***CREAM CAN SUPPER UPDATE***
We've added door prize drawings for a 50" TV and copies of the new Dauntless Dunn books.
Mike Housel has offered to provide music and anyone is welcome to join in.
Lots of items have come in for the Silent Auction.
Cooks are hard at work prepping food and tables are set up inside
the Machinery Building, so no worries about rain.
Hope to see you there!
COMING UP SOON!
