The Children's Museum of Durango

Thank you to Carvers, our Sugar Daddy! Please support them.

The 2007 Who's Your Daddy Street Festival this year was a huge success, raising over $30,000 for the Children's Museum of Durango/Durango Discovery Museum! This event would not have been possible without the hard work of over 80 volunteers. Of these 80 volunteers, 6 people stood out for their hard work, dedication, long hours and great attitude! The Children's Museum of Durango/Durango Discovery Museum would like to thank the following super volunteers for their tireless efforts:

Claire Carver
Melanie DuChateau
Taylor Pancelot
Debbie Perkins
Michelle Victor
Melanie McGill
