Goblin Success

We would like to thank everyone who came out to the Museum's Goblin Jamboree Fundraiser last month!

Despite the blustery weekend, a lot of fun was had by all. The petting zoo and the pony rides proved to be a favorite among the growling tigers, spooky ghosts and daring pirates!  

With over 5,000 attendees, were able to raise over $134,000 for the Museum!    

Check our Flickr page and Kodak page for photos at the event! 

A special thanks to the Goblin Co-Chairs: Kristen Borsetti, Heather Olitsky & Erica Mooney and all our generous sponsors!
