Are you ready for Show & Tell? The Orange County Historical Society is holding "Show & Tell Night" this Thursday, Feb. 10th, 7:30pm, at Trinity Episcopal Church, 2400 N. Canal St., in Orange. The event is open to the public.
Rummage through your garage, files, scrapbooks, or trunks for a choice artifact or bit of memorabilia or ephemera that helps tell us something about Orange County of yore.
Maybe you have a local orange crate that connects to a story about a parent who worked in a packing house. Perhaps you have your name badge from when you worked at Disneyland on opening day. What about great-grandpa’s branding iron, or a piece of flatware with the name of an early local hotel stamped on the back?
Or perhaps the historical institution you work for would like to be represented with a particularly cool artifact.
There will be a sign-up sheet when you arrive at the meeting. People will be called up in order of their position on the list. If we run out of time, we’ll save the list for another meeting, so you’ll still get your chance to share your “piece of history” and a bit of the story behind it.
