Mark Holt , Nostalgia Dirt Series, was here at Kinney Pioneer Museum this morning doing a Facebook Live to promote our upcoming Hot Rods For Heros Car Show on Saturday, July 18th.
Keith Musma and Mark have planned out this wonderful event to help our museum and Military Veterans. The guys will be out here every Thursday, from now until the car show, talking about the event and highlighting what the Kinney Pioneer Museum has to offer.
Tune in to Nostalgia Dirt Series Thursdays at 9:30 a.m.

We've Got Our Own Sign! This is a new "first" for us and, hopefully a "sign" of more good things to come.

(No, the sign isn't slanted and on a hill. Just taken by my husband doing a drive by.)

The KPM is participating in the North Iowa Band Fest parade tomorrow. Our float will be at the end of the parage lineup - but they save the best for last. Be on the lookout for these figures as we pass by.

I posted earlier that the museum would be open during normal business hours on Saturday, but since most people will either be enjoying the Band Fest activites or spending time with family this holiday weekend the Kinney Pioneer Museum will be closed.

Please come out next Tuesday - Saturday for a better look at these familiar figures!
