Plan your weekend now: Obscura Day is March 20th
Now here’s an event to start planning your weekend around right now.
Saturday, March 20th, 2010 is Obscura Day: a day of expeditions, back-room tours and hidden treasures in your hometown.
Like what? Well, how about Leila’s Cohoon’s Hair Museum in Independence, Missouri? A family emergency kept me from visiting in person a few years back, but I’ve spent a few hours on the phone with Leila talking about her collection of hair wreaths and snippets of hair from famous people.
On Obscura Day there will be a group tour of the museum, so please send a report of what you see.
Not planning to be in Independence, Missouri on Saturday? There are dozens of other unusual places and collections you can visit on Obscura Day. See the list of participating places here.
Can’t wait!!!
