Museum Dedication

Yesterday we went to the museum dedication.  Our grandson told us a couple days ago that he would be playing in the cover band at this event, we got the hint that you wanted us to come.  We had nothing else going on anyway so we decided to go.

The weather was very rainy over the weekend.  We got to the museum around 1:30 pm, the dedication itself was scheduled from 2-4.  We were directed on where to park and they had people in golf carts that would give you a ride to the new building so you didn't have to walk in the mud.

We wandered around and signed the guest book.  It is a very beautiful building, it was hard to really look at stuff because of all the people.  It was elbow to elbow.  I took some photos but will have to go back when not so busy.

The inside of the museum was built with pieces and parts of old building around Big Horn County that was torn down.  There were vintage cars parked out in front of the new building.  A film crew from the PBS program "Backroads of Montana" were there.  Keynote speaker was Stan Lynde.

Unfortunately the band was canceled, we didn't stay for all the speeches and such.  Just too many people.  I did take a few photos and have posted them on facebook and picasa.  I hope to go again to get more, just couldn't this time.
