The cent sign is missing, but the price is right!

June 28th, 2011

Last week a customer came into the gift shop at the museum with a brochure given to her by her mother in preparation for her trip to Vermont. Apparently her mother had visited us in 1978 and she thought that the likelyhood we were still around and still a museum was pretty good – well, thank you!!!!
Of course her mom was right, in fact we are not only still here, but we are improved! Over the years we have held onto our most valuable things (please see Allen Dwight our sculpor in residence on the original brochure – still with us!), but we have educational additions such as the Hall of Presidents, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Exhibit, and Earth Alive Geology Exhibit.
While we all marveled at the brochure, we spied the Admission prices … not $7.00 … but $1.00 for adults!! Inspiration – the bright idea to offer these rollback admisssion prices now! No problem with the dollar, we put it on Constant Contact, Facebook, andGoogle, but the children 12 & up at 25 cents sent me searching all my keyboards for the cent sign – what happened to it? Some things still do cost cents, but I can’t find that sign.
So, the price is right; and the Museum is better than ever; come in anytime in the month of July for the Rollback Admission Price of $1.00 for adults and only 25 cents ($.25) (25 € (almost!)) for children 12 & up.
