Historic Society plans 7th annual fundraiser

Members of the Artesia Historical Society are deeply involved in planning their annual fall fundraiser.

This year's event, "Harvest Moon Halloween Party" will be held on Saturday, October 30 in the Albert O. Little Community Center at Artesia Park.

Guests will be encouraged to arrive in their favorite costumes (though optional for those conservative folks) and join the fun. Costume prizes will be awarded in a variety of categories.

Tables for eight can be purchased for $700, a $100 saving from prior years, so get your party together early and reserve a table! Sponsorships are available in teh following categories:

- SORCERER'S WAND SPONSORSHIP for $1000 includes eight guest tickets/one full table to the "Harvest Moon Halloween Party" plus a private tour for ten of the Artesia Historical Museum and recently restored Old Fire Station 30, an Artesia Historical Society Cookbook, and recognition in the evening's program.
