• A note I copied from the Great Plains Children’s Museum newsletter: “We are on the hunt for SPACE in the Fargo-Moorhead area. Up until now, everything we have done is operated on a mobile basis out of our founder's garage. In order to establish reusable activity kits, better utilize volunteers, and have a space to meet, we are on the hunt for an in-kind donation of office space (500 sq ft+). Know of a space available that someone might be willing to donate it's use in-kind to the museum? Please reach out to our team at [email protected].”
