Soup Up Your Support!

Handcrafted ceramic soup bowls will be displayed at the Museum beginning on Wednesday, March 19. Choose your favorite and make a reservation for lunch; pay on March 26. For a minimum of $15 per bowl, enjoy one serving of Panera soup and bread- keep the bowl! (You may find a treasure that compels you to offer more!) You're welcome to purchase additional soup, beverages, and accompaniments.

Special thanks to Nancy Gessner, Dick Leffler, and Panera Bread.

Bowls were created by: Clarice Nelson, Christopher Craft, Christine Shearer, Alexandra Nicholis, Mandy Pond, Judy Paquelet, Scot Phillips, Christine Bracken, Mary Ann Fowler, Suzi John, Lani Allman, Bobbie Muhlbach, Washington High School students under the direction of Sherri Hornbrooke, and Malone Students Sylvia DeMarco, Jessica Yoder, Missy Schreckengost, Caitlin Cook, Holly Reiber, Cindy Kimberly, Madeleine Cline, and Britaney Mazur.
