<\/p>\nHow to reserve your spot for the Sacramento area’s Free Museum Weekend<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWELL, AN ANNUAL TRADITION IS READY TO COME BACK TO THE SACRAMENTO AREA. WE\u2019RE TALKING ABOUT FREE MUSEUM WEEKEND. IT GIVES YOU A CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE ART, CULTURE, SCIENCE AND HISTORY. AND THIS YEAR, YOU NEED TO RESERVE A SPOT IF YOU\u2019D LIKE TO GET INTO ONE OF THE PARTICIPATING MUSEUMS FOR FREE. REGISTRATION IS COMING UP MONDAY, AND THESE TICKETS WILL GO FAST. AND JOINING US THIS MORNING. RIGHT NOW WE GOT DELTA AND KATIE MARTIN WITH SACRAMENTO MUSEUMS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT LADIES. THANKS FOR HAVING US. DELTA, LET\u2019S START WITH YOU BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU\u2019VE BEEN A PART OF THIS PROGRAM FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. HOW HAVE YOU NOTICED IT JUST EVOLVE OVER THE YEARS? WELL, THE WHOLE THING STARTED SO THAT WE COULD PROMOTE ALL OF THE MUSEUMS THAT WERE IN SACRAMENTO AT THE TIME. 28 YEARS AGO, WE WANTED PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THEY DIDN\u2019T HAVE TO GO TO SAN FRANCISCO TO SEE SOME REALLY GREAT AND DIVERSE MUSEUMS RIGHT HERE IN SACRAMENTO. SO WE STARTED FREE MUSEUM DAY, AND THAT WAS WHERE WE ALL JUST OPENED OUR DOORS AND LET EVERYBODY IN. AND IT WAS OVERWHELMING. AND IT GREW AND IT GREW EACH YEAR. BUT THEN COVID KIND OF CHANGED HOW WE HAD TO OPERATE. YEAH. AND KATIE, BECAUSE WITH THIS PROGRAM AGAIN, YOU TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT JUST HOW IT\u2019S EVOLVED JUST BECAUSE OF COVID. ARE YOU STARTING TO SEE MORE PEOPLE COMING IN, ESPECIALLY INTO THE AUTOMOBILE MUSEUM? OH, YEAH. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT DAY FOR MUSEUM ACCESS, AND WE USUALLY SEE WE SEE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COME THROUGH THE DOORS ON THIS ON BOTH DAYS IN THIS WEEKEND. IT\u2019S A REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR FAMILIES TO COME IN AND REALLY EXPERIENCE SOMETHING IF THEY HAVEN\u2019T. RIGHT. YEAH, WE HOPE THAT THEY\u2019LL COME AND GET A TASTE OF THE MUSEUM AND COME BACK. SOMETIMES WE SEE PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN TO OUR PARTICULAR MUSEUMS OR HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A MUSEUM BEFORE AT ALL, AND THAT IS REALLY HEARTWARMING. WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE MUSEUMS, FEEL COMFORTABLE, AND THIS IS AN ACCESSIBILITY. WEEKEND THAT WE OFFER. WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT JUST THIS? THIS PARTICULAR WEEKEND? I LIKE THAT IT\u2019S A WEEKEND THAT EVERY YEAR THE FOCUS IS ON MUSEUMS. THE MUSEUMS BRING SO MUCH TO SACRAMENTO AND SO MUCH TO THE COMMUNITY, AND I REALLY THINK IT\u2019S WONDERFUL THAT WE HAVE ONE WEEKEND WHERE, YOU KNOW, IT\u2019S THE MUSEUM WEEKEND. EVERYBODY\u2019S GOING TO MUSEUMS. IT\u2019S A BIG CELEBRATION THAT IS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYBODY. OKAY, SO THERE ARE A LOT OF MUSEUMS TAKING PART. SO WHO ARE SOME OF THE OTHER MUSEUMS? WE HAVE? WELL, THE HISTORY MUSEUM, THE AUTOMOBILE MUSEUM, THE RAILROAD MUSEUM. THE CROCKER. YEAH, THE CROCKER VERGE CHILDREN\u2019S MUSEUM, AIR, AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM, THE MEDICAL MUSEUM. OUR AREA REALLY HAS IT\u2019S CHOCK FULL OF A LOT OF MUSEUMS. PEOPLE MAY NOT EVEN KNOW ABOUT. CORRECT. THAT\u2019S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. AND THAT\u2019S WHY WE STARTED THIS. THERE\u2019S A LITTLE MUSEUM, THE MEDICAL MUSEUM, THAT PEOPLE DON\u2019T REALIZE IS EXTRAORDINARY IN ITS COLLECTION. IT\u2019S A VERY SMALL MUSEUM. WE HAVE A PHARMACY MUSEUM THAT PEOPLE PROBABLY DON\u2019T KNOW ABOUT, AND WE HAVE THE OLD CITY CEMETERY, WHO IS MY FAVORITE MUSEUM? OH, REALLY? YES, BECAUSE IT\u2019S A MUSEUM THAT\u2019S OUTSIDE AND IT\u2019S FULL OF HISTORY AND INTERESTING ICONOGRAPHY. ICONOGRAPHICAL, YOU KNOW, THE THE, THE GRAVESITES THEMSELVES. ANYWAY, THAT\u2019S THAT\u2019S ALL A PART OF IT. TICKETS GO FAST, AND YOU DO HAVE TO REGISTER. YES. TELL US HOW FOLKS CAN GO ABOUT DOING THAT. SO ON AT 9 A.M. ON MARCH 2ND, TICKETS WILL GO LIVE AND EVERYBODY\u2019S GOING TO BE QUEUING UP ON THAT WEB PAGE. AND IF YOU\u2019RE THERE EXACTLY AT 9 A.M., MAKE SURE YOU HIT REFRESH SO THAT YOU\u2019LL SEE THE MINUTE THE BUTTONS APPEAR. RIGHT. BUT YES, THEY WILL GO SUPER FAST. 9 A.M. ON MARCH 2ND. AND THAT\u2019S WHEN YOU\u2019RE GOING TO WANT TO BE THERE TO GET YOUR TICKETS. YEAH. AND YOU SELECT THE MUSEUMS THAT YOU WANT TO TO GET TICKETS FOR. VERY NICE. AND AGAIN, MAKE SURE YOU GET SOME STRONG WI-FI OR YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION IS GOOD BECAUSE YOU\u2019RE GOING TO WANT TO HIT THE REFRESH\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
