The Kelowna Museums proudly present
*the 2^nd Annual Okanagan Historica Regional Heritage Fair!*
May 16 & 17, 2008
at the Historic Laurel Packinghouse
The Historica Fair returns to the Okanagan this May during the Kelowna
Museums' 2^nd Annual Okanagan Historica Regional Heritage Fair. An
educational initiative of the Historica Foundation, the Historica Fair
is an exhibition of student work on a Canadian theme. Students prepare
projects to tell stories and share information on Canadian people,
places, and events. The students' projects will be on public exhibition
at the historic Laurel Packinghouse, 1304 Ellis Street, on Friday, May
16, 9:00am -- 3:00pm, and Saturday, May 17, 11:00am -- 3:00pm. Come view
the student projects during this two-day exhibition!
"This is our second Historica Fair, building on a pilot Fair we held
last year," says Patti Kilback, Curator of Education for the Kelowna
Museums, "and it's going to be bigger and better this year with lots of
community involvement. We have approximately 65-70 students
participating from five different schools across the Okanagan". The Fair
is open to students in the Okanagan from grades 3 to 12. One student
from the Okanagan Historica Regional Fair will be selected to represent
British Columbia and attend the National Fair in Victoria in July. In
addition, six students will be sent on to the first BC Provincial Fair
in Kamloops in late May.
