Final preparations have begun for McKINLEY DAY on Saturday January 26!!
I just finished the program for activities in the building for the day. New this year is a red carnation craft for kids, a book signing and reading from Canton's Pioneers in Flight, the new movie from last year's summer camp, science experiments in Discover World, and the Closing Ceremony of the "Let's Do It Again!" Penny Campaign.
Old favorites are back -- "Meet the President" talks with Jerry Sandifer as President McKinley, civil war re-enactors, science shows in Discover World, planetarium shows, and lunch in the Museum Cafe.
Dignitaries include Sen. Kirk Schuring, Rep. Scott Oelslager, and Canton Mayor Jamie Healy. Wreaths will be laid by the re-enactors, the Army Navy Union, MOLLUS, and the Brigadier General on behalf of the White House. Taps will be played, after a 21 gun salute. It is a very moving ceremony.
It should be a fun filled day! And for the discounted price of $5 per person, you can't beat it! (As always, members are admitted free)
The only thing left for me to do is finish up the wreath laying program (waiting for some info from the Army) and make sure all the signs are up to date from last year.
