Attention Exhibitors!!! Please Share!!!

Help us out and please get your tractors and exhibits tomorrow. We are expecting at least another inch of rain yet today. We would like to limit the amount of damage to the grounds as much as possible. By waiting a day you will help reduce ruts, mud, and save the grass!

Thank you!

In 1989, Pulaski County celebrated its Sesquicentennial. The Historical Society published a 2-volume set. Volume 1 arrived first, and apparently we sold a bunch of them. THEN, after Volume 2 arrived, we were already "trained" to sell just the one book. Consequently, we have a BUNCH of Volume 2s available. IF YOU PURCHASED what you thought was a complete set, and you only have Volume 1, come to the Museum (we're open Saturdays 10 - 4) and get Volume 2 AT NO CHARGE. (36 years later...) If you do not live locally, contact us ([email protected]) and we'll send you the book for the price of the mailing. We'll have to find out what that will be .... we'll work it out with you! (Oh, the things you find when you move into a facility that allows the room to actually see the inventory!)
