MARCH MADNESS COMES (BACK) TO KGMC
June 1, 2010
“BASKETBALL HALL OF MEMORIES” EXHIBIT OPENS AGAIN AT KGMC
A new exhibit at the Kentucky Gateway Museum Center opened just in time for “March Madness”. Due to its popularity, we will open the exhibit again on June 4th through September 19th.
The “Basketball Hall of Memories” exhibit features photographs, uniforms, pennants and other memorabilia from area high schools that date back to 1916. There are even videos of Mason County basketball games. Mason, Bracken and Fleming counties are represented in the exhibit. May’s Lick, Muse’s Mill, Minerva, Washington, Maysville, St. Patrick and Mason County graduates can see items from their schools in the exhibit.
The guest curators of the exhibit are Danny Weddle and Duane Faris. “I could not have done this exhibit without their expert help” and the loan of materials from private collections, said Sue Ellen Grannis, museum curator. “It is amazing how many teams from this region won state tournaments, both the boys’ and the girls’ teams. We even have information on the parties held by Clyde Barbour at the state tournament. Going to state was worth it just to go to his lavish parties,” Ms. Grannis added.
The exhibit can be seen during the museum’s regular operating hours: Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. until 4.p.m.
