PICNIC !
Thursday, August 22, we are having a picnic at the museum with hot dogs, cake and ice cream, (sound familiar?) Starts at noon and lasts until 1:30.
County Commissioners and Twin Falls Parks and Waterway employees have been invited, so stop in and visit with them. There is no charge and we'd love have historical society members come by. Many people don't know the county parks department takes care of mowing the lawn and the underground sprinkler system as well as many extra activities at the museum. 2019 is the 50th anniversary of the Union School becoming the museum so take a few minutes and stop in to show your support.
