Museum#039;s opening will be exciting
Published 12:00 am Tuesday, June 11, 2002
The Spam Museum's official grand opening celebration takes place this coming weekend. We encourage area residents to come out and enjoy what appears to be a festive and exciting occasion.
Plans had been in the works to open the museum in mid-September of last year. However, Hormel officials wisely decided to cancel those festivities out of respect to what befell our nation on Sept. 11.
The museum still opened and many have seen the impressive displays that are inside. However, the grand opening celebration was pushed back to this weekend.
This festival gives Hormel, Austin city officials and its residents a prime opportunity to showcase our town to those who may have never been here before.
And it's also a prime opportunity to welcome back those who have visited our town previously and to give them even more reasons to come back again.
We'll see you out at this weekend's Spam Museum Jam celebration!
