Busy busy!!

Someone just asked me why I haven't posted in a few days. The answer is simple. I've been pretty busy!!

I have met with several women this week who are bringing in dresses for the Bridal Show. So far we have 28 in the building. I have a few more appointments next week as well. There are only a handful of people who haven't called me back yet. I plan to call them again next week and find out if they are still interested.

We have some really gorgeous dresses and some wonderful stories for this year's show!!

Between dress appointments I met with Gary Brown about a story for my new book Canton's Pioneers in Flight (as I mentioned last post), and I went to Dick's Restaurant to give my program "Sweet Stuff: The Story of Chocolate" for the Massillon DAR. (By the way, the chocolate program is sponsored by Anastasiades Exclusive Chocolates in North Canton, so I bring chocolate with me when you book that program!!)

Next week is looking equally busy.

The Tea with the Curator on Monday is SOLD OUT!! I am just thrilled about that. We are so grateful to this community for embracing what we do here at the museum. It is very rewarding to serve you.

I have a new intern starting next week too. Her name is Erin and she is a history major at Kent State. I have a list of projects for her all ready to go, so I am looking forward to getting her started!

McKinley Day prep continues. Mayor Healy, Senator Schuring, and Rep. Oelslager have all contacted me and will be attending the wreath laying ceremony at 3:00 PM. Brigadier General Douglas A. Richardson will be representing the White House this year. So everything is falling into place for McKinley Day.

I am going to rest up this weekend for the work ahead next week. Things are almost always busy around here!
