| New Bremen museum 
          begins to glitter with Christmas spirit for upcoming holiday activities
 The Christmas spirit has arrived at the New Bremen Historical Museum 
          as members and curators began decorating recently for the holiday season. 
          Historical society secretary Dru Meyer puts the finishing touch on her 
          Christmas village display. There are five large trees placed in various 
          places throughout the two-story museum at 122 N. Main St., and a variety 
          of tabletop trees and other antique Christmas items.
 A Christmas open house will be held from 1-4 p.m. Dec. 14 with local 
          author Katy Gilbert on hand for a book signing. Thomas Clark of Ann 
          Arbor, Mich., known as Dr. Snowflake for his intricately designed snowflakes 
          such as the one depicting “The Night before Christmas,” 
          will display his work at the museum from Jan. 20 through March 20. Admission 
          for both events is free to the public.
