This past weekend, the Virginia Museum of Transportation hosted ¨Candy Express,¨an event that engages the community in learning about the different types of transportation we have while adding a winter wonderland theme. As a team, we worked together; we decorated the entire museum and set up activities for people of all ages. At the event, I was in charge of crafts and letters for Santa. In my elf costume, I helped the children that came through by reading them instructions, coming up with ideas, and even for some of them writing their letters. I worked with kids of all ages and had great conversation with their parents. I loved working this day because I got to be more involved and not just working the background. I’m glad this was my last main event at VMT because I got to see everything come together. The staff helped one another and created a great event for the Roanoke community. Everyone worked together to ensure that the visitors truly experienced the Museum in the holiday spirit. I am so grateful for this semester at the museum and for all that the staff and volunteers have taught me, not only about working in a museum but what it means to be excited about your work and helping to 
educate others.
