The Museum staff kicked off the holiday season with lunch at a local Italian restaurant.  It was full of conversation, laughter, and the opportunity to find out some things we didn’t know about each other.

Above is Karen Johnson, our esteemed Museum Director, with a much-loved Snoopy plush.
Below is the card that elicited a wonderful laugh from her. . .that got us all laughing, too!

Now, it is back to work preparing for a two-week run of daily classes and special weekend activities such as making gingerbread doghouses,  creating a film with students’ handmade puppets, and making a stop-motion animated short.

The glorious culmination of the Museum’s holiday activities will be our first ever UP/DOWN balloon drop on December 31st. At noon on that day, Snoopy will lead visitors in a New Year’s toast with his favorite beverage (guess what?). Please look forward to pictures here in the New Year.
