2 Opening Day Saturday, June 23 was
a success. Chris Brighting, Joyce Furness and Ruth Vandervoort, our staff members, were all there
for a few hours to learn the routine. Dave covered the paper work, Chet the
financial and Ken did a short tour of the collection. Quite a few visitors
arrived. Joyce and Ken began the process of documenting more interpretive
comments for artifacts. Participation by others is needed; contact Dave if
interested.

Mini Gallery setup in the foyer has begun. Joyce is leading the set-up. If
you know of local artists interested in displaying works for sale on a
consignment basis, have them contact Joyce. Works of a nature or forestry theme
are preferred. Some of
Joyce's work can be seen here

5 The Merrill & Ring Logging Camp N-scale (1:160)
Diorama looks terrific. Thanks again to Peter Sansburn for making and donating
this to the museum. Gerry and Dave completed the plexiglass protection. If the
train falls off the track when operating the model, just call Ken; he enjoys
putting it back on the track.
