CHRISTMAS DOWNTOWN EXHIBIT OPENS DECEMBER 10

The Sherman Museum will collaborate with members of the Sherman Downtown Now to present a holiday exhibit entitled,

“Christmas Downtown.” The exhibit opens December 10, 2013 and will run

Downtown Sherman Christmas 2012

through January 4, 2014.

The exhibit celebrates the spirit of Christmas with holiday themed displays presented by an array of retail shops, salons and restaurants located in the vibrant downtown neighborhood. The museum’s Christmas decorations will also be exhibited, including vintage toys from their collection. Each vendor will decorate a tree or wreath representing their business and display it in the exhibit at the museum. “We can’t wait to see how each of the participants will show off their Christmas decor,” said Museum Coordinator Chris Rumohr. Museum visitors will be given a chance to vote on their favorite Christmas display and the winner will be announced and recognized on the museum website and social media pages at the close of the exhibit.

The museum is offering $1 off admission in exchange for canned goods and other food items during the “Christmas Downtown” exhibit. All pantry items collected will be donated to the Grand Central Station Dining Car in Sherman after the exhibit ends.
