Friends of the Greeley Museums
|
There's a place for YOU in the Friends
of the Greeley Museums.
Interested in meeting new people and supporting the Greeley
Museums at the same time? Then you are invited to become a
member of the
Friends
of the Greeley Museums. New members are welcome at any time.
The Friends help enhance and preserve the special heritage of
Greeley and Weld County by raising funds for Museum programming
and development projects and by volunteering at the Museums.
The major fund-raiser of the Friends is Potato Day, a living
history festival in September that celebrates the agricultural
heritage of this region. It features demonstrators at work,
musical and dance entertainment, children’s activities in the
Potato Patch, a bake sale, silent auction and a baked potato
with all the trimmings. |

and 1920 Federal truck at the Village, new exhibit cases for

Cinco de Mayo festivities, a new computer and many other projects.
