Never Board! (Bored)

I haven't done a pun on this blog in a long time, so you'll just have to indulge me.  It came to me when I was thinking about all the stuff we have been doing lately, and how it all has to do with the Lovell-Kane Area Museum -- because we are on the board.

We kicked off June with the Kane Day Cemetery Cleanup--a joint effort sponsored by the Lovell-Kane Area Museum Board with help from the National Park Service, Conservation Corps, and the community.  We went out to do a clean up and reinforcement of the graves at the old Iona-Kane Cemetery.  Following the cleanup efforts, there was a potluck and Grover presented a slide show of photos from the early history of the area, and led a discussion.

 Here we are at the cemetery.

Then after Kane Day, we worked on the parade float and prepped for the Kane Reunion Luncheon. Karen called us up a few days before and said she needed a program.  Would Grover do his presentation again? 

 Nearly one hundred people attended the Luncheon.  Karen and I worked on a display:   family albums, documents and photographs that have been submitted to the museum.  Following the luncheon, Dad gave a slightly altered presentation on Kane.

No pictures of the Reunion--we were too busy setting up, and presenting.  But you can see the Museum float I worked on.  Here are a couple of pics.  The theme was "A Cowboy's Dream."  The Board is  working hard on promoting the museum.

And lastly, a few days ago we started  working on the annual museum fundraiser.  It's a little over a month away.  We're supposed to be selling tickets, and raffle tickets, and promoting the event.  I am in charge of publicity.  So, as you can see, we are just getting started.

In September we are all going to be out knocking on doors, and talking to people and asking for signatures to get a mill levy put on the ballot to fund our museum.  That will certainly take us out of our comfort zones.  Not looking forward to it--but it's a good cause.  So it shouldn't be too bad.
