*December Christmas Coffee*

Welcome back :) Here we have some images from our December Christmas Coffee. If you missed it, don't worry - we'll be having some more. You can find out the dates over on the right where we've posted most of the events that we're planning for 2009. If you were able to make it - it was great having you!!

At the first Community Coffee at the PHM we enjoyed having the Mayor of Princeville, Mr. Sid Stahl and his lovely wife, Mary, among our many guests. It is really a neat thing to get together at the PHM with our neighbors (because we're all neighbors around here ;) and learning about them and some of the history of our town through their eyes.

The next Community Coffee will be on Thursday, January 15, 2009. Bring a friend - we'd love to see you there! It starts at 8:30 a.m. and goes until 11 a.m.

*Holiday Homecoming 2008*

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from everyone at the Princeville Heritage Museum! The Holiday Homecoming was a huge success! Thank you to all who braved the weather to come and visit us at the museum and the one-room schoolhouse and to those who so generously provided the beautiful and very tasty treats. The tractor-pulled wagon brought many visitors who came to enjoy the plethora of antique toys on loan from the Merlin Ghetz family out of Roanoke, IL. The Ghetz Family is also graciously allowing us to display their antique buggy and sleigh!

Also, in case you are wondering when the next event will be at the Princeville Heritage Museum, the 2009 Calendar of Events for the Princeville Heritage Museum is underway and will be available right here on the blog this coming January of 2009 and in the newsletter that will be going out. Please check back soon for new photos of the Christmas Coffee as well and any other special news and information we might have for you!

As always, thank you for your support and see you again soon!!

Sincerely,

~The PHM Board, Chairpersons, and Staff
