Grand re-opening of Children's Museum delayed to Spring 2007
Abilene
, TX ( October 31, 2006 ) - The grand re-opening
of The Grace Museum's Children's Museum has been delayed until
Spring 2007.

delays have forced the originally scheduled date to be pushed
back, said Dan Carpenter, Marketing/PR Director for The Grace.
"We are disappointed
to know we'll miss our original target date for re-opening
the popular Children's Museum, but are still excited about
all the changes," said Carpenter. "With 12 new exhibits,
and a facelift for Recollections and A is for Animal-A is
for Art, our Children's Museum will continue be an amazing
center for discovery-based learning experiences, as well as
provide a new generation of families with memories to treasure."

project at The Grace's web site - www.thegracemuseum.org.

gifts from the Terrell Tone Owen Memorial Fund, Abilene Regional
Medical Center, Hendrick Health System, Dr.
