This Saturday, June 8, 2019, from 11 am to 4pm, the Orange County Historical Society (of which I am currently president) will Celebrate its centennial year with an O.C. History Roundup event on the campus of the Heritage Museum of Orange County, 3101 W Harvard St, in Santa Ana. The public (that’s YOU) is welcome to attend this free extravaganza of local history.

- Storyteller Corner (hear about O.C. history in the words of those who actually lived it)
- Live music, presented by Lilies of the West string band.
- Open House at the OCHS Archives
- Silhouette artist Leslie Stone of Artist On The Go
- Nature tours of “Gospel Swamp” by Orange County naturalists
