Do You Have
Movie-Making Memories?
Pleasanton’s Museum on Main is preparing an exhibit
about Hollywood moviemaking in
Pleasanton, scheduled to open in
September, and we are looking for residents or former residents who have

Pleasanton and nearby
communities, especially during the years 1900 to 1950. We are
particularly interested in meeting anyone who witnessed or was involved
with filming of the 1943 Abbot and Costello feature That Ain’t Hay.
If you have stories you are willing to share, or memorabilia you are
willing to lend, please contact
Pleasanton’s Museum on
Main, by phone at 925-462-2766 or by
