Summer Festival A Big Success

In July of this year the Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Society hosted a special event which featured a temporary exhibit, speakers, music and storytelling.

Highlights of the weekend included talks by Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith, William Anderson and Lois Beckner. Many children attended the storytelling and craft areas and the musicians were a big hit as well. See below for photos.
