Visitors to the Enchanted Forest in the El Campo
Museum have been counted and for a town our size,
the total is remarkable.
Local visitors, including Danevang, Louise,
Garwood, Nada and Pierce, were3.022. Out-of-town
visitors totaled 1,369. A total of 2,519 students were
brought by bus with their teachers to visit. This
includes 2,023 from El Campo, 280 from Wharton, 68
from Bay City, 112 from Louise, and 36 El Campo
Opportunity Center students.
Sixteen residents from Garden Villa Nursing
Home also visited as a group.
One hundred twenty-two visitors representing 23
states and nine persons representing five nations,
made a grand total of 7,059 persons that visited the
museum to see the winter time extravaganza
presented by the El Campo Museum Society.
It seems most of El Campo’s citizens are very
proud of their museum and it is one of the first
items on their list of “what to see and do” when
they have guests.
The museum is something we can all be proud of
the year round, especially during the holiday
season when dedicated workers spend many
creative hours to produce a creation as beautiful
and imaginative as any to be found, even in the
larger cities.
The Enchanted Forest will continue to be on
display through January, and is open on Saturday
and Sunday afternoons from 1-5 p.m. and on week-
days from 9 am.-noon and 1-5 p.m.
Be watching this column to find out what the
board of directors plan to accomplish during 1981 at
the El Campo Museum with your help, of course!
