CANYON, TEXAS—Night at the Museum is not just a movie, it is an actual event taking place at the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum after hours. For one night only on Friday, June 5th from 8:00pm-11:00

pm, tour the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum by flashlight to see what comes to life at Night at PPHM. Role players and storytellers will come to life in all areas of PPHM to show visitors what life was like on the Panhandle Plains throughout history. The event is not de-signed to be scary; it’s an opportunity for patrons to explore the museum in the dark and talk to characters within the exhibits. Bring your family and flashlights to enjoy PPHM after dark. Cost is $10 for adults and PPHM members, $5 for kids 4-12 and free for kids under 4. Tickets will be sold at the door. Located on the campus of West Texas A&M University, the Pan-handle-Plains Historical Museum is the largest history museum in Tex-as, with more than 285,000 square feet—and over two million arti-facts—dedicated to preserving this area’s past. PPHM offers visitors a chance to step into panhandle histo-ry with special exhibits, a perma-nent collection, Pioneer Town, cell phone tours, educational tours and special events. For more infor-mation about PPHM please visit www.panhandleplains.org .

Multi award winning jewelry designer and goldsmith. Multi award winning master colored stone faceter. I started in the trade underground mining tourmaline and other gem material in the Pala, CA area and worked my way to the top of my trade. I specialize in custom One of a Kind high end jewelry pieces. Because I cut and polish my own colored stones, usually of unique shapes and facet arrangements, my designs are next to impossible for other jewelers to copy or knock off. I have a very large inventory of world class colored gemstones that are just waiting to be incorporated into a beautiful design made just for you.
