Skunk 
Nominations for Skunk of the Year

Each year the Museum hosts the annual Skunk Reunion. This year, the format of the reunion will be a bit different so you can see old friends and experience the newest part of Fred C. Andersen Camp during the day. The Reunion will take place on Saturday, May 30, 2009 starting at 10:30 a.m. One of the highlights of the Skunk Reunion is the awarding of Skunk of the Year. If you know someone who would be a worthy recipient of the award, please submit a nomination form. A copy of the form is in the April issue of Museum News or click this link to download a copy. Just fill it out and mail it in. Nominate a Skunk today! We look forward to seeing you at the Skunk Reunion.
