Why is there nothing apparently on the Museum webpage about the event?
The link with the CVR(T) picture goes to a page being developed Odd

It is unfortunate but our page is getting a major overhaul this year. We are about 50% finished. Please remember we are a non-profit museum staffed 99% by volunteers. There is info on this page: http://www.ontrmuseum.ca/events.htm And event info is also listed and updated on the FB event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/670120409789269/ The event info is also available on eventbrite and 15 other public event pages across the internet. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/aquino-t...ts-22657637604 I have created this thread on MLU to answer any questions not covered in the other listings. Thanks
