DEMYSTIFYING THE HEARSE WITH JAMES CRABTREE

Please join us for a special presentation by automotive historian Jim

Subject: "spooky" programs for October
Hello all,
I am working on an article for my website about some
of the Halloween oriented events that are going on at
museums across the country.
If you have something "spooky" that you are doing in
October, please email me about it off list. I want to
include as many events as possible, since my audience
is spread out across the country.
Also, please let me know of any "harvest" type events
you might be having -- fall festivals, harvest
dinners, etc.
Thank you so much for your help!
Kim Kenney
PS -- I am a volunteer Editor at Bella, I receive no
compensation of any kind. I am only interested in
promoting the exciting events going on in the world of
museums!
