Pescadero’s celebrates 150th anniversary with open house

The Pescadero Historical Society is hosting an Open House at the Native Sons Hall, 112 Stage Road in Pescadero, from 11am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday, July 1 and 2. The community hall will become a mini-museum with displays of historic photographs, antique furnishings, photo albums, oral histories, and updated maps for self-guided historical walking tours of town. Some items such as historic re-colored photographs will be for sale in a small Emporium in the front lobby. Light refreshments will be available. Displays of the town photos taken on March 28, 2006 will be available for purchase—orders will be taken for later delivery.  Proceeds go to the Pescadero Foundation-Friends of PMAC.

Sunday, July 2 will be a locals-only celebration from 11am-4pm at IDES Hall.  Festivities include live music, a BBQ and potluck. Residents with last names beginning with A to M should bring a salad or appetizers for 8, and those with last names from N to Z should bring desserts or soft drinks (no alcohol please).

The BBQ by Caesar Silvestri will provide an entrée. We will also have information tables inside providing an opportunity to discuss plans with the architects working on a new master plan for the school district, and the progress on workforce housing at the Warheit site.  Community organizations or local artists wishing to participate should contact  Catherine Peery, 650-879-0150 or Jackson Robertson, 650-879-0072.
