All ready for the Hoiday Parade!
Saturday, November 26
Today I worked again on the President's exhibit, focusing on the labels, pouring through exhibition catalogs, and more books. I also spent some time considering the exhibit layout, and where to hang each quilt. I actually took a floor plan of the museum and cut out tiny images of the quilts and placed them around. Paper dolls! It helped a lot in trying to figure out this puzzle!
Today was also Lowell's annual holiday celebration. They have activities, craft vendors, music, trolley rides, and a parade. This afternoon, a group of carolers came and sang to us in the museum. It was great, but made me homesick, especially with the holidays upon us.
And YES, the NEQM walked in the parade carrying their banner. Connie and some board members came through in their matching fleece ponchos, red hats, and mittens. Normally, they would need all this gear because of the cold weather usually here in New England by Thanksgiving weekend. Not so today! It was 65 degrees into the evening. Cheryl, a museum employee, and I stayed for the parade which didn't start until 4:30. No coat required! It was a beautiful evening with marching bands, floats, and yes, even Santa was there! I don't know how many thousands of peope were there, but the place was packed with families.
