They are in the ground! The stories of three families that contributed to the settling and growing of Rosebud are illustrated with the help of the Community Benefits Grants sponsored by Wheatland County who distributed the grant for Elemental Energy-Strathmore Solar Project and Wheatland Wind Project along with Rosebud Gas Co-op, Rosebud Memorial Hall and Rosebud Lions. Monies also went toward a revised museum brochure with a walking tour map and new logo.

After fire practice last night helpful members of the fire department helped Art lift down the bottom cabinet on to dollies. Now we can move it to clean and update. Then they lifted on top the glass display case that was recently donated by Chelsey Tellier.

A reminder if you are looking for items for little ones we have Eugene the Dinosaur, the star of "Have You Seen My Human?" illustrated by a former Rosebud School of the Arts student, Anja Darien. Prices are $15 and $12 respectively and the net proceeds help support early childhood programming for this area.
