b. Visitation: The year total for 2022 was 4,720. The year total for 2021 was
4,384. We are not up to our pre-2020 visitation totals yet, but this is common
throughout all museums and art venues as well as business in general.
c. Events: EmCo Paranormal Con is set for Oct. 13th - 14th. This year's theme is
Cowboys vs. Aliens.
d. Marketing: I located the new museum brochure but need help finding where
it was sent for printing.
e. General: We purchased a lot of items from locals for the gift shop this year.
The museum is receiving a lot of phone calls from people around the country
asking about events, camping, and general information about travel and tourism.
We do not normally handle many of these types of calls, but the tourism office is
often empty. I am compiling a list of websites and phone numbers for the
museum staff to be able to handle these calls to the best of our ability.
f. Collections: We will be done inputting all accession numbers from MSR into
the system by the end of February.
7. Adjourn - Thank you for coming!
