SUMMARY:Virtual Visits with Santa
DESCRIPTION:As it happens\, Santa loves museums. It’s a little known fact\, but they’re his favourite places to visit when he takes one of his rare vacations from the North Pole. So when Santa realised he couldn’t come to Creston in person this year to visit with all the good little girls and boys\, he called us to ask if we could help him out. Of course we were happy to! \nVirtual Visits with Santa\nSaturday\, December 12\, 2020\n2:00 – 4:00 PM\nCall the Creston Museum at 250-428-9262 to sign up for a special personal visit with Santa on Saturday\, December 12. Then\, watch for an email from the Creston Museum (crestonmuseum@telus.net) that tells you how to join him on Zoom (Santa has recently discovered Zoom and he thinks it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread). \nDonations are very much appreciated! All donations will be shared between the Creston Museum and PAWS (Santa loves animals\, too\, you know. How would he do his job without the reindeer to pull his sleigh?). You can make a donation with a credit card or etransfer when you call to sign up\, or click here to go to our secure donations page at CanadaHelps.org. If you do that\, though\, please include a note that it’s for a visit with Santa\, so we’ll know to share it with PAWS. \nDon’t worry – COVID won’t keep Santa from making his rounds on Christmas Eve! He’s an essential service! He\, Mrs. Claus\, the elves\, and the reindeer have been isolating themselves up there at the North Pole\, making sure they all stay healthy and well so they can travel around the world delivering presents. You can follow him – and find lots of information and games – on NORAD’s Santa tracker website.

SUMMARY:Kids Day (Month)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Kids Day! (Month) \nThis is the first in a month long series of twice weekly activities/challenges hosted by the Creston Museum in lieu of our traditional Kids Day! To participate: Complete the challenge and share it with us! \nAll the challenges will be listed here on Mondays and Thursdays each week – scroll down to see them all! \nTo share your challenge with us: post it on our Facebook\, Twitter\, or Instagram using the hashtag #KidsDay; send us a photo via email; or bring your project to the Creston Museum (we’re open 10:00 – 4:00\, Tuesday to Saturday). \nCHALLENGE #4: INVENT A FOUR-INGREDIENT RECIPE\nAll throughout history\, there have been times when money is tight\, and food is short. So people had to get creative with what they had to eat! \nHere is your challenge: \n\n–> Invent a 4 ingredient recipe using ONLY things you have in your house. Don’t go to the store and buy anything! Any Spices other than salt and pepper count as an ingredient! \n\n  \n  \n  \n  \nCHALLENGE #3: CROCHET THREE GRANNY SQUARES\nCrocheting is the art of making a fabric through loops of yarn using a hook. It has many handy-dandy uses! You can make everything from clothes and slippers\, to cloths\, to blankets with it\, much like knitting! Instead of using two needles\, you use one hook. \nA granny square is an easy way to piece together a larger blanket\, one square at a time. Once you have enough squares for the size of blanket you want\, you sew or crochet them all together. You can do the same colours of granny squares\, or different colours; the same pattern\, or different patterns! \n\n(if you don’t know how to crochet\, you can check out our how-to lesson on the Creston Museum Online Learning Center!) \n  \n\nCHALLENGE #2: MAKE AN OLD PIECE OF CLOTHING INTO SOMETHING NEW\nHand-me-downs and re-purposing have been essentials for as long as people have worn clothes! During the depression\, when flour companies found out that people were making clothing for themselves and their children out of the 100-lb flour sacks\, they started making them with prints on them! \nYour challenge today:\n–> Take clothing that you don’t wear anymore\, or some clothes that are too big/too small\, and turn them into something wearable! \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCHALLENGE #1: BUILD A BIRDHOUSE WITHOUT USING WOOD!\n\nWho doesn’t love to watch birds flying back and forth to their nests in the spring! But sometimes getting a wooden house kit isn’t the easiest\, and not everybody can just make one. So here is your first challenge!\n–> Build a birdhouse out of recycled material you can find around your house! \n(Keep in mind\, it has to be safe for the birdies so don’t use or decorate it with anything they can get caught or tangled in!) \n(Photo courtesy Google Images)

SUMMARY:The Night the High School Burned
DESCRIPTION:On a Wednesday morning in April 1980\, Leanne\, a Grade 11 student at Prince Charles Secondary School\, in Creston BC\, called her friend. “Maureen\,” she said\, “there’s no school today.” \n“Why not?” asked Maureen. \n“Because there’s no school.” \nAt about 2:00 AM the night before\, fire had broken out in the thirty-year-old building. Within an hour\, the structure was fully engulfed and all firefighters could do was hose down nearby residences to keep them from catching fire. By dawn\, the school – one of the finest in the Kootenays; home to award-winning band\, drama\, and art programs; producer of provincial championship sports teams; provider of a vast array of academic and trades programs – was gone. \nThe Creston Museum has film footage. \nWe’re marking the fortieth anniversary of the PCSS fire with a special presentation at the Tivoli Theatre. \nIt’s a double feature! \nFirst on the bill: Hockey! Third period of a nail-biter Game 6 playoff matchup between the Creston Clippers and the Kimberley Knights! \nFollowed by The Night the High School Burned: historic photos of the school from its construction to the day it burned; highlights from its history; memories of students and teachers – and approximately twenty-five minutes of film footage of the fire that destroyed it all. \nDoors open 6:30; show starts at 7:00. There will be a very brief AGM of the Creston & District Historical & Museum Society in between the two features. \nAdmission: Members of the Historical Society – by donation; Non-members $10. Admission includes pop or popcorn. Not a member? Sign up here!

SUMMARY:History Mystery Play-Time
DESCRIPTION:Here at the Creston Museum\, we’re always receiving new donations of stuff connected to local history. \nOne of our most recent donations is a collections of several dozen photographs\, all from the 1940s to 1960s\, and most of them we haven’t been able to identify. \nLike this one: \n \nI have to admit\, this one’s intriguing! Look at the size of that parade – on an evidently cold winter’s day! And all the signs encouraging people to come out and cheer while Creston thoroughly trounced Kimberley at…something. But what? What was the event? And what on earth was going on between Creston and Kimberley to inspire the kind of rivalry that this photo suggests? \nWe’d like to invite you to check out these photos – and if you can tell us something about what’s happening in them\, we’d sure love to hear it! \nHistory Mystery Play-Time \nSaturday\, December 7 \n2:00 – 4:00 PM \nIn the Archives building at the Creston Museum \n219 Devon Street\, Creston BC \nAdmission by donation \n  \nSneak preview and free admission (with coffee and cookies!) exclusively for members of the Creston Museum: 12:00 – 2:00 PM
