Homecoming at Last!

We are right in the thick of Homecoming Weekend. Things started off with a blast last night at the Dinner with Lord Revelstoke. It was a delightful evening, and everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. Ann & Edna-Mae and the events committee outdid themselves, and made the Golf Clubhouse look fabulous. Lord Revelstoke was delightful and seems to be enjoying his visit to Revelstoke.

Today at the museum we had a lot of people come in to see our exhibits and check out the new cookbooks. Samples of some of the recipes were made by our volunteers and everyone seemed to be quite happy to do some taste testing.

Upstairs, we had a table full of memorabilia, including photo albums from Golden Spike Days, newspapers from the 1974 homecoming, high school annuals and many other items. These were enjoyed by many people and there was plenty of reminiscing going on.

We had good groups for our downtown walking tour and the Cemetery Tour. For tomorrow, we are going to cancel the afternoon walking tour and add another evening Cemetery Tour. They seem to be more popular. Tonight at 11:00 pm, Jen Busch will lead a Lantern Cemetery Tour. I'm hoping to be asleep long before then! I need to rest my feet, and my brain!
