Jazz Group.

With the high interest and many compliments received about our Treasures
of the Tri-Valley exhibit, we retained it a few extra
weeks. This great reception to the exhibit
has also prompted a decision to make
Treasures of the Tri-Valley an annual exhibit. If you are
fond of collecting and interested in sharing your finds, please consider
being a participant next year. For
information about next year's exhibit and to discuss your own private
collection, please call 925.462.2766.
Delicious food and conversation mix very well.

This exhibit featured collections from over fifteen Tri-Valley families
and local students. The collections included vintage cowboy memorabilia,
antique perfume bottles, an accordion collection, campaign buttons
dating back to the 1940's, airplane memorabilia, castles, cars and
coins. There was also an enormous 100 dollar bill made entirely of
steel and nails.
There was a hands-on area for children to draw their own collections
and assemble a vintage airplane puzzle.
