WOW Buttons–I see they can be purchased at the box office. Is this at the theatre? And can we buy them on Saturday afternoon so we can go to the reception at the Marine Art Museum? What time?
Or, can we purchase at the art museum?
Please reply–we’re looking forward to our weekend in Winona!!

WOW buttons are on sale both at the theater and at our office. Click here for a map to both.

Exciting! Like Donna, I’m wondering if we can buy WOW buttons at the EVENTS themselves? (At the reception tonight; at the museum on Saturday, the picnic on Sunday, etc . . .) ?
