This year’s Holiday Mart was again a great success as a fundraiser for the River of Time Museum and also as a service to the greater community.

Without the many community members who donated new and gently used Christmas treasures, toys, Christmas trees, wreaths, etc., it would not have been such a success.

I want to thank everyone who donated to the Holiday Mart as well as those who worked at the Mart and those many community members who purchased items from the museum.

The River of Time Museum is now accepting donations for next year’s Holiday Mart. Donations of new or gently used Christmas or holiday items can be brought to the museum during business hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday) starting Jan. 2.

Donations can be brought to the back door/loading dock near the library’s book drop box. Please do not leave items during other hours. If nobody is at the door, please walk around to the store entrance facing Centennial Circle to let a museum volunteer know that you have donations at the back door. For very large donations, pickup can be arranged.

Many thanks again to all who contributed to the success of the Holiday Mart by donating, working or buying.
