Summer is Over?
Bummer! It has been years since an approaching fall season meant going back to school, but I STILL get a little teary-eyed when I think about putting away my swimsuits and flip-flops, and trading them for jeans and sweaters. Fall is fast approaching, and here at the museum, that means our busy season has closed. What I want to let all of you know is that while tourism might be nearing an end, there are still LOTS of opportunities for locals to be involved at Francisco Fort Museum.
During September, please note that while we do not have our regular weekday hours, the museum is still open on weekends (F&S 10-4 SUN 1-4). Additionally, my office will still be open W, TR, F, from 10-4. Please come by, as the museum’s slow season is the Director’s busy season, and I will be working on new ideas and projects for 2012! To give you a preview, on tap for 2012 is a revamped reading room, which we hope will be open one afternoon a week for your research needs! I will also be working on setting up a brand new inventory system, as well as computerizing many of the museum’s files, and reviewing 2011 numbers to adjust for next year.
Besides stopping by during the week to say, “hi”, or touring on the weekend, September will also host special activities for National Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15th-Oct. 15th). Be prepared for special presentations, exhibits, celebrations, and … DRUMROLL PLEASE … the unveiling of the 2012 Francisco Fort Museum theme, with information about what to expect for 2012 exhibits and activities.
In October, plan on attending our GHOST TOUR, to be held Oct. 15th, from 7-8:30pm. Ghost stories by Dick Anderson, a haunted house, and hot cocoa – all for $3 a person! We hope this will be a “sell-out” event, and will draw folks from around the region for a good time!
I am also available through November for school presentations, and hope to see your kiddos soon! It’s going to be an exciting fall season, and I can’t wait to share it with you all.
