I've always been fairly interested in history, genealogy and related subjects, so this weeks challenge was quickly used to once again partnered with and draw attention to our community historical society. Basically, we began by posting signs around Moser River announcing that one afternoon we would be having a barbecue and prize draws at the local museum and genealogy center. Then, once people were aware, we moved over to the museum for one afternoon and fired up the barbecue. We saw many people over the course of the afternoon, some of whom even brought old photographs and documents to contribute to the museum. I've scanned some of them, they'll be attached below.
Some of the older community members were particularly excited , and were happy to have a chance to discuss people, places and artifacts.
Some of the community youth were more drawn by the promise of a barbecued lunch, but once they actually came in to the museum, some of them were just as enthused as any of the adults.
And some of the donated pictures (these are only a few, there are many more):
In the end, I feel that we were quite successful in drawing more attention and interest to the Moser River and Area Historical Society.
