For two months, Lyle Ward’s collection of MRF memorabilia has been on display at the Madison County History Museum, 715 N. Main Street, Edwardsville. This reception celebrates the success of the exhibit and offers one last opportunity to see it at the museum and mingle with friends who have similar memories of the great Mississippi River Festival. The reception is free and open to the public but an RSVP is appreciated. To RSVP, send a text to 618-973-3312 or call 618-656-1294.
