FULTON - Some members of the Callaway County community will join their neighbors "across the pond" in celebrating Prince William and Catherine Middleton's big day.
The Mid-Missouri Friends of the National Churchill Museum are throwing a Royal Wedding Celebration beginning at 4:30 p.m. Friday, April 29, at the museum.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take part in a royal wedding," said Jody Paschal, president of the friends of the museum board.
Paschal said the celebration is also a way to raise money to replace the exterior lighting around the memorial. Although the event is free, Paschal said guests are encouraged to donate to the museum "in lieu of gifts to the bride and groom." He said the group needs to raise $10,500 to repair the lights.
