Old Independence Regional Museum will be offering the 1st in our series of senior programs for 2015. On Tuesday, January 27, Humanities Educator, Amanda Nikkel will lead a short program about Mardi Gras traditions. Afterward, museum volunteer, Frances Mathis will lead participants in creating bead art cups using Mardi Gras beads.
“We are so glad to have a consistent group of seniors attending our monthly programs;” said Amanda Nikkel, Humanities Educator, “however, we still have room for more! Give us a call to get your name on the registration list!”
This program is free. Space is limited to 15 participants and reservations are required. Please call the museum at 870-793-2121 to reserve your space!
