[BCMA] Artifact or Artifiction? Starts Today at the Creston Museum

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Great idea, Tammy! 

Is there a prize for guessing all of the stories correctly?

  How good are you at telling fact from fiction?  Do you pride yourself on being able to spot a lie?  Or maybe you just like a good guessing game?

  Well then, you need to come down to the Creston Museum this summer and match wits with our staff and volunteers.  We have chosen twelve objects throughout the Museum.  Each one has its history presented right alongside.  Eleven of those histories are fact: the whole truth, and nothing but.  One of them, though, is what the literary types call "creative writing" - pure fiction, entirely made up, not a grain of truth to be found.

  Can you figure out which ones are artifacts, and which is artifiction?

  To take the challenge, just come into the Museum.  Regular admission rates apply, or you can download and print a coupon from our website and bring it in to enjoy admission-by-donation. You will see all of the selected objects during your tour.  Read the histories, make your choice, and record your vote before you leave.

  Each Wednesday, beginning on June 1, we'll feature one of the objects on our website and in I Love Creston's Daily Buzz. Click on the links to let us know whether you think each week's story is fact or fiction! We'll post the voting results, and reveal the artifiction at the end of the summer.

  See you at the Creston Museum - 219 Devon Street, Creston, BC

   

  Tammy
