Memories of the Prom Pop Up
exhibit at the Goderich Library
Special to the Clinton News Record
The dress, the car, the decorating! The
suit, the hair, the after party! Whether
you call it the "Formal" or the "Prom,"
search your closets, photo albums and
boxes for clothes, photos and memora-
bilia, and take it all to our Pop Up
exhibit. On Saturday, April 9, proms of
the past come alive within our shared
stories. Put on your corsage or bouton-
niere and splash out!
The Huron County Museum and
Huron County Library, Goderich
Branch, are hosting Huron County's
first ever Pop Up exhibit. The museum
will be showcasing some of the striking
formal wear and accessories from our
collection, and inviting the public to
add to the display.
Will Kernohan, Curator of Engage-
ment and Dialogue, Huron County
Museum states, "We are very excited to
partner with the fine folks at the Goder-
ich Branch Library to bring this exciting
event to Huron County. We want every-
one to bring an object or memory from
their prom, and come to the library to
share their history. Pop Up exhibits
only last for a couple of hours and are a
great chance for the museum to get out
into the community and show off some
of our artifacts. More importantly, to
allow the community to participate by
bringing theirs. We see ourselves as cre-
ating space for residents to participate
and be co -exhibit creators. Really, it's a
show and tell for everybody and we
want people to have a good chat and a
great time."
"Prom related sharing and conversa-
tions have already begun at the Goderich
Branch Library," added Christa Lehnen,
Branch Assistant. "Staff have dug through
their closets and shoeboxes, and found
some vintage pictures and formal fashion
