Hershey, PA - As the sad news broke of comedian Betty White's passing at the age of 99, the AACA Museum decided to honor the icon in their own way. The Museum will officially honor her memory on Sunday, January 16th, with "Betty White Day at the Museum.” The day planned originally as a birthday celebration will now honor the veteran actress's life and special connection to the AACA Museum, Inc. Her beloved "Parakeet,” a 1977 Cadillac Seville, is part of the Museum’s collection. The car was a gift to Betty from her husband Allen Ludden. The story of "The Parakeet" can be found on our "Best Reads" online bookshelf.

On January 16th, the first 300 Museum visitors receive FREE admission courtesy of the car's donor, Nick Farrintino of Texas, and the Potomac Region of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club, the car's adoptive organization. At 11 a.m., we invite guests to join us in remembering Betty's timeless wit and charm, enjoy light refreshments, and get an up-close look at "The Parakeet." 

Betty had a deep concern for animal welfare and was passionate about providing resources for their care. Please join the Museum in honoring Betty by helping to provide shelter, food, and love for animals by donating to the animal shelter of your choice.
