Hey everybody! It's Miro Dunham, back again this year as the Public Outreach Coordinator! (I was a student in the field school last year.)
So far, being back in Niles has been wonderful. As always, the people are great, the community is welcoming, and the digging is, well, dirty. We were contacted this year by the Niles Chamber of Commerce with a community outreach volunteering opportunity, which was to help with parking vehicles for the fireworks show on the 3rd of July. Myself, Cameron, and Maddie, all of whom you will meet through blogs later, participated in the event, and we raised a lot of money in donations for the fireworks show for next year! We were also graciously offered a Pizza Transit picnic by the Chamber for compensation, which was obviously amazing! (Pizza Transit is the BEST!) It was really awesome to help out the wonderful city of Niles, as well as promoting the Project and the Fort by having our presence and talking to people about our work. We would love to be contacted with more volunteering opportunities, so please feel free to reach out to us at fsjarchaeology@gmail.com!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend, and we hope to see you all at our first lecture series, which will be held this Wednesday, July 10th, at 7PM in the Niles library! We will be having a total of 4 lectures every week at the same time, so if you can't make this weeks, try again next week!
That's all from me!
Miro
