We are looking forward to our tours of our new buildings this Thursday (4:30pm at Norton) and Friday (4pm at Barnum). Unfortunately, Colonel Barnum will not be able to attend Friday's event. We will still hold the open house and tours, but are pushing back the ribbon cutting ceremony until he is able to be in attendance.
