The Christian County Historical Society is preparing for its two major events early spring events.  They include the clean-up day on April 4 and the Earth Day celebration on April 19.  These events come not long after the Historical Society returns to its summer hours as the weather warms to temperatures more fit for exploring their grounds. 

Jodi Heberling is a co-president of the Christian County Historical Society.  She says while local organizations have helped with clean-up days in recent years, more volunteers are still needed this time around.

The clean-up day will prepare the grounds for, among other happenings, the annual Earth Day celebration.  It’s scheduled for April 19 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.  The pie auction is back for another year as part of the celebration.  It’s the second year in which the auction pays tribute to one of its longtime contributors, Jim Blakely.

The Earth Day celebration will feature many activities returning from past editions as well as some new ones. 

Soil Sammy is one activity meant to pay tribute to Earth Day.  The Christian County Farm Bureau will help organize this activity. 

The Christian County Historical Society’s summer hours begin April 1.  At that point, they will be open Thursday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.  Find out more about the CCHS at www.christiancountyhistorical.com.  More information is also available at their Facebook page.
