We send along with this note not only our thanks but thanks from so many who attended last year's event ---parents, teachers, students. They loved the event immensely and connected in interesting ways with the living history aspects of it.
". . . .It was the best way to learn history, and all of us were deeply moved, from the grade-schooler to the high-schooler to the parent. Excellent displays, and genuinely helpful re-enactors and artisans made that period of time come alive for us. What a treasure we have in the Valley!" Mother from Merced, California
"I was amazed, as was the class, at the extent of the production. We found it exciting, informational, the best teaching tool possible for that era! We plan to attend next year, but we will go earlier and stay longer to get in as much as possible!"
Charter School Teacher, Lemoore, CA
I hope you know what your support has meant. You've helped make it possible to stage a very powerful experience---one that not only reaches children and engages them but also stays with them. There are many extraordinary moments---memorable ones---that happen in the course of the three days . . . and, thanks to what you do, our children are experiencing those moments. Many, many thanks!
