The annual Maidstone Museum Corn Roast was held in the parking lot in front of AG Foods grocery store on Wednesday Sept. 2 from 4 to 7 p.m. Store manager Victor and his wife and staff prepared a delicious meal of corn on the cob, cheeseburgers and hotdogs with all the condiments, cold drinks and chocolate chip cookies in a carry away carton. Besides doing all the preparation and serving the food, they then donated the cost of all the food and containers. A big thank you to Vic and all his staff and all who attended this museum fundraiser. Too bad the weatherman didn’t cooperate.
The scavenger hunt at the museum concluded on Sept. 6. This provided children accompanied by an adult to enter. There were three categories, adults, intermediate from 11 to 16 and children 10 and under. Participants were given pictures of an article in one of the buildings and an entry form to write where it was located, their name and place to be placed in a draw box provided. Each age group had a different picture. The organizer was pleased with the amount of people who took part. A donated $10 gift certificate from AG Foods was drawn for with the adult winner being Linda McGilvery. The intermediate $10 gift certificate from Subway was won by Mickey Blyth. The child’s $10 gift from A&S Corner Store was won by Nateleigh.
A lot of renovations and changes of displays have been done in different buildings by members, volunteers and summer student Cooper Wakefield.
Our next meeting will be at the museum at 7 p.m., Sept. 21. See you there.
