The museum has added many new and interesting items to the collection this past year. First up is the construction of
our cornfield exhibit that houses our 1963 dated U.S. M108, 105mm Self-Propelled Howitzer. We contacted a local
farmer and had them pull corn stalks from their field and plant them around the vehicle. We feel it made a very nice display
and it was very cost effective to build.
The museum also added a Vietnam period U.S. M38A1C recoiless gun mounted jeep to the collection.
A 1960's period Hungarian Armoured Personnel Carrier now also calls the museum home. We were very excited to acquire
this vehicle because the museum did not have a vehicle on display for this country before this addition.
The museum's 7th Annual Military Extravaganza was once again a great success. Visitation was down a bit, but the show was
well received by all that attended. The dates for next year's event have been decided, so make sure to mark your calendar
for April 30th, & May 1st, 2011.

The 7th Annual Indoor Car and Bike Show was a great success with 175 cars and over 800 visitors. 75 first place trophies
were given out to the top winners of the show. Over $4,000 worth of items were raffled off from local sponsors. Here is a
picture of the handmade "Best of Show" trophy that was won by Mark Butner for his 1970 Chevrolet Camaro. Mark your calendar
for November 5th for the next Car and Bike Show. You can check out more information about last year's show and see the flyer

Visitation to the Tank Museum's internet shops - RC Tank Parts which is on our museum website, and can be found
here, and the militaria site,
found here are both doing well. The sites
have seen an increase over the last 6 months and have also help boost our ratings on the search engines. The main
museum website is number 1 on Google, Yahoo, and many others.
With the economic climate that is effecting businesses, non-profits and the average citizens these days, we all require a tightening
of the belt to weather this storm. The Tank Museum is no different and has had to make some tough choices so that we
can continue to bring history to life for our visitors. We will be cutting back our winter hours starting January 1st thru March 12th, 2011.
During this time the museum will only be open on Saturdays, which is when we get the bulk of winter visitors. Thank you for
your understanding and support!
