Heritage Dinner a Great Success

Special guest speaker Joe Martin delivers his keynote address at the Huronia Museum's Heritage Dinner.

Last Friday, the Huronia Museum held its annual Heritage Dinner fundraiser.  Over 200 people were in attendance to enjoy a fabulous dinner and to hear our special guest speaker Joe Martin.

The 2011 dinner turned out to be our most successful to date!  Many thanks go out to the staff and volunteers who made the event run smoothly and also to the many people who attended the dinner and showed their support for the museum.

More pictures from the event are available on our Facebook page.  The dinner will also be featured on this week’s Huronia Museum Show.  See it later this week right here on our website.
