SUMMARY:C&C Lincoln - Sheldon Art Museum visit + Bison Witches
DESCRIPTION:We have a guided tour (in English) at 4pm of the Sheldon highlighting just a couple French/Francophone pieces. The tour will last about an hour. After the tour\, we will make our way over to Bison Witches for drinks and a bit to eat. Please RSVP to both events so we can let Sheldon know how many to expect. We currently have a table for 15 people at Bison Witches and can update as necessary. \nThere is ongoing construction in front of the Lied Center which is limiting public parking near the museum. Please see the attached map for Sheldon Parking. Parking here is free\, but they will need to enter us into the parking system\, so everyone will be asked for their license plate number upon arrival. I do not know if we will be allowed to stay parked here to go to Bison Witches after.
