Conrad Mansion Dragon Boat Team?
The Dragon Boat Races last September were arguably one of the best events of the summer.
The Conrad Mansion Museum is thinking about organizing it's own team for the 2nd Annual Dragon Boat Festival on September 7 & 8, 2013. Before we commit, we want to see if YOU are interested in joining the team. We'll need 20 rowers and a drummer. The cost will be approximately $60 per person (includes boat fees and a tee shirt). We'll also try to raise additional funds to support the team and benefit the Conrad Mansion Museum.
Please email us at media@conradmansion.com if you are interested in being part of the Conrad team. Thanks!

Nativity Makeover - Second Piece
Baby Jesus is the second piece that Miriam Emerson has restored of the Nativity Scene that was donated to the Conrad Mansion in the early 80's.
 
These photos showcase the before, during and after progress of Miriam's restoration of Baby Jesus. We will be highlighting a different piece each month then showcase the full scene at the 30th Annual Christmas at the Mansion event in October. We are grateful to the long-time Kalispell residents Rosalie Heineke, Lois Himsel, and Gerene Little for the original donation. Also a special thank you to Miriam Emerson for taking on the restoration of these wonderful pieces. Please see our Nativity Scene Restoration page on our website for more information on this project. Please also enjoy this inspiring letter from Miriam as to why she decided to help the Mansion and encouragement for others to do the same...please click this link for the letter.
