Museum executive director Bob Baker said today, “Lately, our ‘on the road’ forums have been much better attended than our local ones, so it is time for a change. We are going to try three Saturday afternoons this summer, instead of our Third Thursday series, and we will see how we do with them. The ones on race days at the museum will require a paid museum admission, but we feel that they will be well worth it.”
