Hello!

Hello, for the second time! Sarah here.
This marks my fourth-ish week working with the MSA Museum Society, and yes, I am still just as excited as when I started!
Last week the Optimist Society of Abbotsford held a Viking Family Fun Fair at the Museum and the grounds. It was cool to see Trethewey House, normally 1920s, be transformed back to the Viking era! The Viking group Reik Felag came and recreated a village with Norse peoples. They challenged the horse shoe club which practices just outside the museum to a old Viking game, and there was even a Scandinavian and Norse arts and craft display set up in the guest room of the house.

There’s also a bunch of fun family events coming up for the Museum! The next is Berry Beat. Us summer students are experimenting and thinking of ways to make our tent the craftiest and berriest! We’re trying out fun crafts for kids to do, and an activity, too. Berry Beat takes place July 9 and 10 downtown Abbotsford on Montrose & Essendene.

Well, that’s it for now!
Sarah
