CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS: December Brown Bag Lunch

It Came from the Attic: A Community Show and Tell Event
Brown Bag Lunch
Wednesday, December 7, at 12pm

For lovers of old objects and photographs, the joy comes more from the story behind the piece than from the actual thing. This event will be an opportunity to share an old object or photo and the story it embodies with others. The theme is Holidays – Do you have a unique vintage ornament? A meaningful family recipe? A childhood Christmas gift with a great story? We want to see them! Interested participants must contact Summer Bias at 904-261-7378 x.102 or [email protected] to sign up to share an artifact by December 2.

Attendance is free and open to the public and attendants may bring their lunch. Seating is limited on a first come, first served basis. This program is wheelchair accessible.
