Review of BHHA accomplishments during the first half of 2013

As 2014 begins, we would like to take a look back and review all the wonderful things accomplished by the BHHA from January to June 2013:

• Former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar’s visit to Bishop Hill in March, hosted by the Heritage
• Toy Tractor display during Spring Jubilee
• The Astrid Lindgren Festival during the month of April.
• Quilt display in the Steeple Building and Blacksmith Shop in May.
• Bishop Hill visit by Swedish governors, university presidents, and folkfiddlers on May 31, hosted by the BHHA.  The folkfiddlers also did a public musical performance.
• “Rarely Seen Treasures from the Attic” and the “Colony to Community, the Story of New Sweden” exhibits beginning in June
• Midsommer Festival June 22, cosponsored by the Heritage

All these activities, and much more, would not be possible without our volunteers, BHHA members, and donors.  Tomorrow, we will do a quick review of the 2nd half of 2013.
