HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Museum is looking to create some new memories with traditional methods on next month's Third Thursday at their Christmas in the Courtyard.
"We started this in 2019," said Katie Broker with the Museum. "That was our first year doing it. We were really excited to have a fun, annual event. Then last year with COVID, we did not do that. This year will be the second year for Christmas in the Courtyard."
The goal is to get people to come to the Courtyard at the museum that may never have been there before.
"It's a Christmas open house style event," Broker said. "It's our way of giving back to the community during the holiday season. We will have all your favorite traditions over the years. We'll have hot cocoa, we're going to have Christmas lights, decorations, kids activities and we'll even have an appearance from Santa Claus himself."
All of the museum's exhibits including the Oodleplex children’s area will be open late, too. The event is from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, December 16. Call the museum with questions at 620-662-1184.
