In conjunction with this year’s exhibit, The Apron: Body Armour or Bling, visitors to The Charles A. Weyerhaeuser Memorial Museum have enjoyed choosing their favorite bling from a selection of nine aprons culled from the museum’s collections. For those who have not been able to visit, online voting has commenced and will continue until the end of the year. The last day to cast your vote is December 31, 2011. The apron with the most votes will be announced in the Morrison County Historical Society (MCHS) newsletter and on the museum’s website. The newsletter is a benefit of membership with MCHS. Applications are available online (http://morrisoncountyhistory.org/?page_id=1151) and at the museum. To vote for your favorite, post a comment, send an email (contactstaff@morrisoncountyhistory.org), stop at the museum, or give us a call (320/632-4007). See below for details on each apron.
