Laurie grew up in the Sister Lakes area and worked as an electrical engineer for Zenith for 27 years. Upon her retirement, she took on the role of Executive Director at Curious Kids and has been in that position for 13 years. When the Pandemic hit, Curious Kids was closed for 15 months.
Then, 11 months after reopening, fire struck the building on Lake Blvd. Luckily, the Heritage Museum, on Main St., came up for sale. After obtaining several variances in the building codes, they are ready to launch a Capital Campaign with an anticipated grand opening in early 2027.
