Code Neon Blue!

Last week the family and I attended the first annual Appreciation Party at the Big Timbers Museum here in Lamar.

I had unfortunately used almost the last bit of juice in my camera batteries earlier that day, but I had just enough to get a shot of some of the attendees, plus this banner which hangs in a place of honor by the door.

The National Civic League started giving this award to 10 cities annually in 1949. Lamar was a winner in 1959. If I’m not remembering wrong, we cinched it by putting in a swimming pool…something like that.

The Big Timbers Museum has some unique and interesting items in its collection. I hope to go on about them more in the future, especially after some visit when I have good batteries in the camera.
