January 19-22 The Museum is getting ready to clear out one of its display spaces to make way for its new Electrified! exhibit, opening in May. That means moving about 500 artifacts - and we could sure use some help! We'll be tackling this big job between January 19 and 22, and if you'd like to help, send us an email or give us a call. The work involves packing up the artifacts into boxes, recording the catalogue numbers for each objects, and labelling boxes. Some artifacts will be going into other displays instead of storage, so you'll get to help reorganise those displays, too. We need 4-6 people each day. 90% of the objects to be moved weigh less than 10 lbs, but we'll need a couple of people each day to help with some heavy lifting. |

A brand-new exhibit opening in May – we’re showcasing the impact electricity had on day-to-day life in the Creston Valley. We would love to hear your stories on the topic! Do you remember getting electricity in your house for the first time, or hearing your parents talking about it? Can you recall when the tower on Kootenay Lake was blown up? Or any other power-related stories? If so, we’d love to hear from you – please drop in, give us a call, or send an email! |
