Magnet Time

Free magnet set – click to enlarge

Long-time readers will remember that I occasionally have some refrigerator magnets made, and leave them at the library or the Visitors Center for anyone to pick up, for free. In light of the limited access to both buildings, this year I’m offering to mail them to anyone who asks, for free (I think I can do it with a single stamp). Each magnet is about the size of a business card. If you would like a set of this year’s magnets, just send me your address and I’ll mail you the magnets. Happy holidays, readers!

I have a lot of old Coors postcards in my collection. Could some of my Coors-savvy readers help me identify the buildings, so I can date the pictures? If you’re interested in helping, let me know. Thanks!
