Today at the Marquette County Historical Society there were more preparations being made for the Strawberry Ice Cream Sociable, which is coming up this weekend! Joanie (one of the main ladies) had the idea that we should put up a bell and when people make a donation, they get to ring the bell! So much of today was spent figuring out how to attach the bell in a place it can be easily reached.
The bell was donated by Joanie's family, and she and I worked on getting the bell ready for display (cleaning, painting, etc.) The men set to work,
designing how the bell would attach to an old phone line post, and how that would attach to the small school house building.
The ringleader in this group was the Historical Society president, Greg, who ended up on the roof and was aided by his son (Shannon?) for most of the heavy lifting. Personally, I went up and down the ladder, delivering things like screwdrivers and screws but spent most of the afternoon observing.
I also spent some time taking artsy photos around the property, so the following are for your viewing enjoyment.
