Their regular exhibits and the exhibits and demonstrations during their Annual Show may bring back memories of early childhood for some of us.

PARKING INFORMATION
We have acquired new parking arrangements for our bus trips, so you will need to pay attention when you register for a trip as to the parking location. Southcentre Mall has kindly agreed to let us park there on a case by case basis. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Acadia drive has kindly agreed to let us use a portion of their parking lot. Both have given us specific spots where we are to park. Participants in a bus tour will be sent a map of where to park at these venues. Where possible we encourage people to carpool to minimize the number of cars
