Mike adds a bit of flair to the festivities (and Karley's head).
On Friday night, staff and volunteers bid farewell to Karley MacArthur who is retiring after 19 years at the Huronia Museum. She started here in 1992 working in the gift shop where she held the position of retail manager.
During a dinner in her honour, Karley was presented with a blanket and a pair of moccasins from our gift shop that she has apparently had her eye on for quite some time.
Enjoy your well-earned retirement, Karley!
