The Kelowna Museums proudly present the 2nd 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’ 2nd 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.
