Tomahawk Park Bricks 2023

Clayton McLain Memorial Museum

6 RESERVATIONS | 6 MORE NEEDED

The cost to purchase a 1 – 2 line inscription on a Tomahawk Park brick is $100, with a portion of that going towards the cost of inscribing the brick on site by Rose City Memorials. To maximize the donation portion of the purchase, we wait until we have at least 12 bricks reserved. Currently, 6 bricks are waiting for the next round of inscriptions, which will hopefully be this year before the first snowfall.

Once we have 12 bricks on the list, the museum will contact individuals for payment, and for the text of their inscriptions.

Inscriptions: Each brick holds 2 lines of text. Character count per line is 17.
Payment: Must be received before the bricks are sand blasted. Cash, cheque, or e-transfer accepted.

To purchase an inscription, please email cmmmcutknife@gmail.com to be added to this year’s list. The purchaser will receive a tax donation receipt for $50. (For more about the Brick Fundraiser, click here and scroll through previous posts.)

And, it was “Shared Widely”

Many thanks to Sherri Solomko for her write-up in Sask Today about the vandalism at the CMMM this past week. Unfortunately, Facebook is preventing us from sharing it on our feed. We encourage you to support local news outlets by visiting their pages directly.

Break-in and vandalism at Cut Knife Museum

Many thanks to all on Facebook who shared our post, and to all who commented with words and emojis . The original Facebook post, asking for any information the public may have about the break-in, is here. We asked for the post to be “shared widely”, and the Museum’s followers obliged. It went viral. Take a look at the stats below.

Now is the Time

PICTURES!

Already, the temperatures are dipping at night and, if you look closely, there are leaves beginning to turn. Now is the time to take a turn around the CMMM grounds. The flowers are in full bloom and the area around the Duvall House front steps has recently been landscaped. Click on photo for the slideshow.

As you can see from the last photo, some of our flower pots, actually tubs, are showing their age. If you have any extra large pots (i.e. 2 ft in diameter) that are no longer in use, the CMMM would be happy to make use of them for you. They would be greatly appreciated by us and by all visitors.

Donations of extra large flower pots / tubs (approx. 2 feet in diameter) accepted at the Duvall House Wed. – Sun. from 10am – 4pm until the end of August. Thank you.
