It’s hard to believe, considering the beautiful Alberta Sports Hall of Fame and Museum we have in Red Deer, that supporters fought so hard for so long to find a home to honour our elite athletes, builders and media. Here’s a story about the homeless hall’s struggles 40 years ago.
Today was a day to remember at the @baseballhall in Cooperstown. We were treated to a special behind the scenes experience, usually reserved for their higher level members (lucky us) @BeaMielke ,our curator, was pretty excited to get to handle their collection!
Our road trip hasn’t been just sports halls of fame, we are also searching for the visitor experience and made a stop at the Amazing World of Dr Seuss Museum. What a great space, definitely got a few ideas!
@DrSeuss
@Hoophall has found a great combination of low and high tech interactives. We did everything from size comparisons, to sports broadcasting to shooting hoops! We had so much fun!
Stop #3 for @BeaMielke@TraceyKinsella7 and @byterryjones was the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame
Even before you walk in the doors the sight of all these jockeys makes an impression!
Unexpected stop for the day was @BeaMielke@TraceyKinsella7 discovering the Saratoga Harness Racing Hall of Fame at their hotel!
What a great tribute to the history of sport and track in this racing community!
St. MARY’S, ONT — With Tracey Kinsella, Breanna Suk and Scott Crawford, Executive Director of a jewel of a Hall of Fame. Small, quaint town. Fabulous little set up. Highly beneficial to Breanna as curator and Tracey as ASHF executive director.
✅ bags are packed
✅ checked the passport
✅ Excited for the PD opportunity of a lifetime
I am super excited to be headed out with the @ABSportsHall to visit 10 Halls of Fame over 10 days to learn how we can make the Hall even better for our Honoured Members and visitors.
