Notes from the Clarke Museum byDyanaLayng Summer really seems over, after the celebration of the Orono Fair, even though officially, officially, the change date is September September 21, If you visited the Museum this summer or participated in any of the special events, you will know how wonderful our summer has been. This location, being right on the highway, and on the ground floor, has made it much easier for people just to drop in. However, credit for our active success must go to the following: first, to Mrs. Diane Hamre, one of the Clarke Township Museum Board Councillors, who suggested the project; secondly, to Employment and Immigration Immigration Cànada who provided the funding through a seed grant; and thirdly, to the student himself, John Enns- Wind, for his inspirations and energy and organization of all the activities and publicity. And last, but certainly not least, to all those who helped with the historical walks, bike rodeos, art show and flea markets, thank you for making this season the success it was. By the way', Peggy, I did not have to wave the 1000th visitor off the highway; that day, we had 21 visitors. Next week, I will tell you about three of them, and the remarkable, overwhelming coincidence of their visit. NEED A BARN CLEANER REPLACEMENT CHAIN 7 . . .
