Museum to sell afghans designed with Danville landmarks

DANVILLE – Several years ago, the Center for Children's Services sold Vermilion County and Danville-themed afghans. The simple designs of separate area sites were very popular and after the initial sale, the Vermilion County Museum carried the items in its gift shop.

The museum has had enough calls that director Sue Richter started looking into creating a new throw specifically for the museum to sell as a fundraiser.
