Grand Opening Smithsonian exhibit
by Colleen Leddy 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Hi! (and please pardon duplicate emails!) The Grand Opening of the Smithsonian Hometown Teams: How Sports Shape America exhibit should be a rollicking good time! Please join us this Sunday at 2 p.m. if you're not attending the Adrian Symphony Orchestra or watching your children or grandchildren play soccer or any number of other things going on this weekend! We'll kick off the event (yes, pun intended) with a Tailgate Party (festivities enhanced by the Morenci High School band and cheerleaders), then go inside for brief welcoming remarks by a few speakers, a short talk by the very entertaining Dr. Thomas Henthorn from UM-Flint, a Coaches and Players chat and then a fun "ribbon cutting" involving the band, cheerleaders and some of the football players. That will be followed by viewing the Smithsonian exhibit, a local exhibit, and wonderful sports-related art created by last year's Morenci High School students under art teacher Kym Ries. You'll be wowed by this exhibit...even if you don't care a whit about sports. I hope you can join us! And, if you can't come Sunday, be sure to visit us later! The exhibit is on display at the library during regular hours through Nov. 20, 2016. Thanks, Colleen Colleen Leddy, Director Stair District Library 228 W. Main St. Morenci, MI 49256 517/458-6510 Monday & Wednesday: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
