Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Last Thursday we celebrated our members! We held our annual Members' BBQ at the museum and like every year it was a major success. It seems our members like the simple things - hot dogs with all the fixings, baked beans, chips and a dessert of berries!

We also know that our members love the museum. They are members because they want to see the Lynden Pioneer Museum continue to preserve, protect and promote our local history. Without our members we are just a big building filled with old stuff. With our members - we are alive!

Tami (membership/volunteer/gift shop coordinator) started off the cooking!

Grilled onions and peppers and some delicious hot dogs on the grill!

We were happy to have Fred (Mr. Tami) back this year to man the grill! Here he is serving Troy (director/curator) his meal! Thanks Fred!

Once again a HUGE Thank YOU to all our members who support and encourage us to make YOUR museum the best museum around.

Didn't get an invite to the party? Want to next year? Become a member (we'd love to have you)!

We have survived the fair (and will miss it until next year), we are gearing up for our annual members' barbecue, the Lynde 500, the annual open house in October and then the holiday rush...There is never a dull moment at the Lynden Pioneer Museum.

As the summer is coming to a close and the kids are heading back to school this is the perfect time to spend a leisurely afternoon with the family taking in your local museum. There is no better time than now to introduce your children, your parents, your friends, your neighbors to the treasure of history which is found in abundance in this building. We welcome you to stop in, say hi and enjoy!

Custer Daze

Looking for something fun to do this weekend?

Head on over to Custer on Saturday and enjoy the fun of Custer Daze. Wondering where in Custer? Well...just head "downtown" and you'll find it - I promise! I hear the parade is great (real floats and all) and the vendors are plenty. AND I highly recommend grabbing a buffalo burger when you get hungry. I have read that a local historian is putting together a booth on the history of Custer (which interesting to say the least...Did you know Loretta Lynn is from Custer?).

Enjoy and let me know if you participated in this local fun!
