The James

An opportunity to share county-wide advertising with the Society through sponsorship of the historical society’s award winning local mobile history museum called “The James.” “The James” is a professionally revamped school bus complete with changing exhibits and its own generating system, and easy entry and exit. It will appear at business events like grand openings and/or anniversary celebrations or at business expos. For a donation of $200.00 sponsorship provides a highly visible and unique way of letting your potential customers see the community service side of your business.
