Hi TJ (and everyone)! I'm not sure yet about our New Harmonies sites (we don't start until 2012) but for Key Ingredients we had sites that extended their hours for special events. One place opened a new facility for the exhibit and I guess you could say any hours for them were extended hours. We also had one place offer Saturday hours (they never did prior to that). I hope this helps - glad to see our neighbor to the north is doing so well with the exhibit!

Hello fellow MoMS folks: One of our local communities is considering offering extended hours on Friday evenings for New Harmonies - until 10:00 p.m. They will have programming on Friday evenings that ends at 8:00 p.m., and the idea is that people may want to visit the exhibit afterwards. Have any of your local sites had success with extended evening hours? This local SC site wanted feedback before making the final decision to offer the extended hours. Thanks for any insight that you can provide! Best regards, T.J. Theresa J. Wallace (T.J.) Grants & Programs Officer The Humanities Council SC P.O.
