“Chat-Fest on the Trails”

Kramer Hall at the First Baptist Church

324 East Shawnee, Gardner, Kansas

To All Distinguished Citizens of Gardner, Edgerton,

Gardner/McCamish Townships and USD #231

You are cordially invited to the “Chat-Fest on the Trails,” to continue the fellowship that we have all enjoyed annually since the Sesquicentennial Celebration in 2007.  This event is open to all those who want to chat with other Distinguished Citizens about area & family history.

Dust off your Distinguished Citizen Buttons from previous years, if you have them.  New ones will be available for those who would like one.

Light refreshments will be provided by the Gamma Xi Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi.  Displays, pictures and videos provided by the Gardner Historical Museum and museum souvenirs will be available for sale.

A display celebrating the 100^th anniversary of the American Legion’s Centennial will be presented by Gardner’s American Legion Post #19 at this year’s Chat Fest.

We are excited to see you at this event, which is held in conjunction with Gardner’s “Festival on the Trails.”  Visit the Museum’s “Life on the Trails” event and exhibit, featuring the beautiful “Timeline” mural, painted by Jamie Lavin, on display in the parlor, before or after the “Chat-Fest,” as it will be open 10 am to 4 pm on the day of the Festival.

Visit the Museum’s web site, www.gardnerhistoricalmuseum.com, for more information.
