The Western Heritage Museum and Lea County Cowboy Hall of Fame is sad to announce that the annual Christmas Traditions from Around the World event will be canceled this year. “We know it has become the kick-off event of the season for many people,” said Erin Anderson, Executive Director of the Museum, “but there’s no way we can have an event that normally sees more than 600 people through the door in one night.” There are plans, however, for an outdoor drive-by event in December. More details on that soon.
The Christmas Family Fun Day will also be canceled, but you can come out for the Second Saturday Take and Make on December 12 from 10am-1pm and take home some Christmas crafts. “We always have such a great time during Family Fun Day,” explained Mary Lyle, the Director of Education. “We wanted you to be able to take some of the fun home.”
The Museum is currently closed for renovations, which means no Christmas trees and no Bonnie Moran’s North Pole Village. “This will be the first time in my 12 years here that we don’t set up Christmas inside the Museum,” stated Anderson. “It’s always such a magical time, but between COVID-19 and the renovations we decided this was our best option.” The annual viewing of The Polar Express is also canceled.
Be on the lookout for more information about the December events, the renovations, and more exciting news for 2021. Follow the Museum on Facebook and at their website.
