December 2011 was a busy time for the Museum. We changed the front entry case to display a wide selection of Santa Clauses. These treasures were loaned to us by members of our board and all who entered enjoyed a quick peek at these jolly faces. We had a float in the Thomasville Christmas Parade that was a big wagon pulled by a pretty red pickup truck. The truck and the wagon were adorned with holiday greens and red ribbons. Several museum members and their families rode on the wagon. The children and grandchildren really enjoyed the festivities and the big white dog with the Santa hat brought lots of smiles along the way. We had a group of school children who have an interest in history, ride on the same float in the Christmas Parade in Quitman. December 10th was the day of our first annual Poinsettia Promenade Christmas Bazaar, We sold more than 200 beautiful poinsettia plants, charming bird houses covered in seeds, delicious homemade baked goods for all to enjoy. This was a successful fund raiser for the Museum and it will be bigger and even better in 2012. |
