UPCOMING EVENTS
Lacey Museum History Talks! The Evergreen Ballroom
January 9 |6:30 - 7:30 pm | Doors open at 6 @ Lacey City Hall Council Chambers or Online (Registration required for online attendance only)
The Evergreen Ballroom story is an immigrant story, a local community story, and a music lovers' story. From the time it was constructed to the last day that music played, the dance hall saw a number of people cross its stage who would go on to musical fame.
In this presentation, Rebecca Sanchez will cover her research from a series of local history articles published by Thurston Talk.

LEASHES KEEP EVERYONE SAFE
Lacey has over 1,200 acres of parkland and open spaces — plenty for all to enjoy! For everyone's safety and park enjoyment, you must keep your dog on a leash when visiting one of our parks, even if you don't see other park visitors.
The rule is intended to protect the health and safety of the public AND your pet. Using a leash will benefit you, your neighborhood or community, and your pet. Here are a few reasons why you must keep your dog on a leash while visiting our parks:
Dogs can get spooked and run away, creating a potentially dangerous situation for them.
People and/or other dogs get scared of dogs.
Park visitors may want to enjoy the park without having to deal with your dog.
Dogs can be unpredictable in unknown situations.
Park visitors who want to meet your dog will have a proper opportunity to do so, without any surprises.
