May 15–Cambria Historical Society members are always excited when it is time to celebrate the Annual Heritage Day event on the grounds of the Cambria Historical Museum. Please join members and friends Saturday, May 24, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Heritage Day is traditionally reserved for displays and demonstrations of all things old fashioned, and with that in mind members have some unique and returning participants.
This year, Heritage Day will feature live music by popular Bob Benjamin and his son. And to honor the late Art Van Rhyn, there will be a special performance of his musical group. A display of his original cartoons that were printed weekly in The Cambrian newspaper for 30 years, will be available to peruse. Christine Heinrichs organized binders full of his work and donated them to the archives housed in the Moure Resource Center, the historic blue home next door to the museum.
Christine and her chicken will also be attending the Heritage Day event; she and her chicken are always popular with kids and adults of all ages.
There will be intriguing Forest and Edible Spider crafts with Nick–you have to see it to believe it. Perhaps the 4H Club will be bringing a live goat or a bunny or two as they set up their display and pitch in to help during the day. There will be vintage items to peruse, and a surprise visit by Cambria’s most colorful pioneer settler.
Enjoy reasonably priced beer and wine, and root beer floats to go with your unadorned or chili “dogs”. The Morro Bay Mercantile will provide a fantastic selection of jade items. Stop at the cambriaca’s table to sign up to receive Cambria’s free on-line newsletter always available at: cambriaca.org, to keep up with the latest information hereabouts.
Gather with friends and family as we celebrate Cambria’s Heritage. Enjoy the museum gardens and be sure to browse in the Museum and Gift Shop. The Community’s participation in this free event helps to support all four of CHS’s properties. CHS members look forward to seeing you!
