The Maidstone Museum is open Saturdays and Sundays from 2 to 6 p.m. with a tour guide to show visitors around.
The museum is open by appointment Thursday and Friday.
To raise money for never-ending repairs on the buildings, a raffle is in progress. Eileen Anderson. Val Morrison, Christine Carlson and Dorothy Schwartz met to put together the raffle ticket books. Thank you to the girls at the town office who stayed after hours and printed the ticket sheets. Tickets are $2 each with three prizes of groceries from Maidstone AG Foods: $100, $75 and $50 gift certificates. Prizes and ticket production were donated.
Several businesses have tickets available as do museum members. Contact Dorothy Schwartz if you wish to help sell tickets. Draw date is to be announced later.
Eleven museum members met Aug. 17 with Danielle Hollingshead in the chair. Members were seated at a distance. Reports of different jobs were given and the annual corn roast was discussed. A decision will be made later. A scavenger hunt for children accompanied by an adult will be running until closing date on Sept. 6.
