Areas that are usually closed to the public will be open for “sneak peeks” during the event and will give members of the public the opportunity to check out the new facility.

President of the SPRA Jan Shields said in a release; “this facility showcases the effort of our staff, volunteers, and members of the board, as well as the support of our entire community to preserve and share the history of the South Peace.”
