“This event provides the public with a first peek at new exhibits,” says Evelyn Johnson, the museum’s executive director. “Museum lovers from around the Valley come to check out what we have and plan for a return trip if they have downloaded passes to evaluate several museums,” adds Johnson. “Or, they stay to see our exhibits thoroughly. It is a fun day to show off history and suggest upcoming events.”
