Hello Fellow/Former Ciceronians and guests,
Finally, interesting news about the Town of Cicero has been covered in the Chicago Tribune Newspaper. To read the article click on the Chicago Tribune’s hyperlink.
Sometime last year there was a big buzz about this subject around town, and after reading this article it looks like it might become a reality. The state of Guanajuato in Mexico has approved the Town of Cicero in hosting their historical mummy exhibit.
Can you believe it! This is ancient history and culture coming to a neighboring town of Chicagoland. This should be interesting to see in the near future. Just like dinosaurs, mummies are a popular subject at the Cicero Public Library’s adult and youth services desks. So this subject would work great as a book display celebrating Halloween and Day of the Dead = Día de los Muertos.
Take a glimpse inside the museum in Guanajauto = Museo de las Momias de Guanajuato. They look a little morbid, but still they are very intriguing!
Happy Exploring!
