At the last quarterly meeting in Sept. we had a potluck in honor or our site hosts for the past 2 years, Dick and Judy Reinke, who have graciously agreed to return next year.

Sample displays that will be hanging in the museum.

The site hosts made a new railing out of birch and to the right of the steps  they spelled out with rock FHS and the welcome sign (in finnish) at the top of the stairs.

This is the new Visitor Center sign the site host made out of a circular saw
