Special Notice: On Saturday,
October 30th from 1:00 to 3:00 pm, we are going to
be having a book signing /
meet the author's party. The authors of "Clovis Road", the Roy B
Hunt, MD murders Bob & Dana Middlebrooks Samuelson, will be here to sell and
or autograph their book for you and to answer any questions you might
have. This is going to be a special and fun time, so we are asking all of
you to join us for this special treat. There will be refreshments, etc.
served. Anyone wanting to be a hostess of sorts for this, just call the
museum at 385-9001 and let me know. See you there.
We hold several fund raisers every year, and coming up is one of our most
successful. It is our annual Thanksgiving Luncheon. This year it
will be held on November 12th, from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm. We will serve
the usual Turkey, Dressing and giblet gravy with other vegetables and desserts
from out great group of volunteers. (Thank you God for these wonderful
people) Plus it will be held here at the Museum at 520 Waylon Jennings
Blvd. and you can see the changes we have made to our artifacts. Please
join us for this function. The cost is $8.00 per adult and $4.00 for
children six (6) and under. We also offer carry-out so please call your
order to 385-9001 and Kathy Wade will be glad to take your order and (hopefully)
it will ready when you get here. Give us at least 15 minutes lead
time.
Another great time we have is our Barn Dances. We schedule these around
home-coming and other events that are going on and always have a great
time. We usually serve Frito Pie, Bar-B-Q Wraps, Nachos and various snacks
along with your choice of drinks, including water and coffee. Always
before we have had a dessert to offer, once it was Brownies for $1.00 and this
past June it was free birthday cake in honor of Waylon Jennings. The bands
are always great, and the home-schoolers love it. It is a way to practice
their dancing with-in a family oriented space. We do not allow any alcohol
or smoking so it a family atmosphere. As soon as we schedule our next
dance, it will be published right here, so check in often for the latest.
Another very successful and wonderful time is the Wine Tasting we have each
June. A native of Littlefield, Sally Davidson Cookson comes and brings
wine from her Holy Cross Abbey Winery in Canon City, Colorado. Since you
can't buy the product locally, Sally will take orders and ship when she gets
back to Colorado. The wine is fabulous, the snacks delicious and the atmosphere superb.
The cost for this is $15.00 per couple and $10.00 per single. I will
publish the time for the next one on the web, so as I said before, check in
often.
Of course, one of the best things around, is our cookbook "Lamb
County Through The Years". The recipes are absolutely
great, and the stories and pictures are funny, informative and very
readable. The cost of this cookbook is $25.00, tax included and if you
want one mailed, please add $5.00 for postage. I will get it off to you as
soon as I receive you money, and I think you will be very proud of it. It
makes a wonderful gift at anytime, Birthday, Christmas, Anniversary and anything
else you can think. Maybe just because you are thinking of someone and
want to do something special for them. Trust me, you will not be
disappointed.
