Who knew I already had a blogspot!?!

The Burley Family History Center is sponsoring a Family History Expo on Saturday Feb 10th from 8:30am-4pm at the Burley CSI building. I was trying to find more information about the Expo and ran across an old Blogspot! The name of the Blogspot was the Declo Stake Family History Center and as I started to read the first blog, I thought it sounded a littler familar----and realized that it was my blogspot. I was the family history director for the Declo Idaho Family History Center around 2011 and we hosted a family history expo that year. This blogspot was set up then. Almost 13 years ago. I changed the name to coordinate with the Heritage Hub project I am working on right now. So........ Now there is a website at www.minicassiaheritagehub.com that links to local websites to help visitors to the area learn more about Minidoka and Cassia counties and the heritage tourism sites and events. We have a facebook page at Mini Cassia Heritage Hub where we can share information. And a You Tube channel also at Mini Cassia Heritage Hub where we are posting audio and hopefully video recordings. I have a wonderful son-in-law who helped me over New Year's to set up all kinds of fun things!!!!! We have a Heritage Hub meeting in the Old Almo School on the second Thursday of the month at 6 pm. We generally have about twenty people come, and it is really fun. DeeAnn Spencer has asked people to present a history of their family. Everybody is pretty much related in some way and there is a lot of good natured discussion. We are trying to post the audio recordings (haven't been very successful yet with video). So far we have presentations on the Robert Eames family, the Whitakers, Bronsons, Myron B. Durfee, the Tracys, Smiths and Taylors from Yost, and others. They are posted on the Mini Cassia Heritage Hub You Tube Channel. Now I am going to bed.....We will see where this all goes!
