Smoky Hill Museum, 211 W Iron, held their annual Holiday Open House over the weekend.
This Open House was different than years prior. After not holding the event last year, this year timed tickets were reserved online, to keep traffic congestion at a minimum. But, the same fun and activities that kids have loved in the past were still available this year.
Pioneer Santa was there for photos, and he read letters from the past. Simple crafts were set up for make and take, plus more crafts were sent home in goodie bags. The music of violin and piano duo Denise Blem and Judy Weber was heard throughout the building.
Santa woodcarver Ken Miller, weaver Margaret Presley and candle maker Jessica Coulter were on site for live demonstrations. A carving and a winter scarf were also given away.
The Museum also took donations of hats, mittens, gloves, socks or a winter scarf for their Share the Warmth box.
