Putnam County Museum announces mum sale

The Putnam County Museum will hold a sale of a variety of locally grown mums from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. August 21 at the museum's location on 1105 N. Jackson St.

Join us for a day of numerous fun activities and shows. Putnam County flint knappers, spinners and weavers and folklorists will showcase their work and entertain throughout the fundraiser. You will be able to catch a ride on a horse-drawn wagon, purchase kettle corn and do much more while enjoying the show of beautiful mums.

Proceeds from the mum sale will be used to fund future exhibits and programs at the museum. Pre-order your mums today by calling (765) 653-8419 or stop by the museum to fill out the form.

This is the second year the museum has held the mum sale. The last year's proceeds benefited the museum's summer children's program and the round barn. The museum thanks everyone who participated in the sale last year and look forward to seeing you again as well as welcoming new faces.

For more information or questions about any of these items, please contact Director Tanis Monday at (765) 653-8419 or museum@co.putnam.in.us
