Reception May 18, 4:00-6:00PM
Join PVAC and the Agriculture History Project in celebration of National Museum Month during the month of May! Curated by Beverly Moore this plein air exhibit features eleven artists invited to participate in our first show at the Agriculture History Project, which run for three months.
Extend your visit on May 18th by taking part in Day on the Farm from 10:00-4:00.
"Day on the Farm is one of our biggest events of the year. People of all ages have a great time participating in everything we have set up, as well as wandering through the exhibits on the history of agriculture here in Pajaro Valley." said John Kegebein, CEO of the Agricultural History Project.
You can walk over to the Pajaro Valley Chamber Car and Motorcycle Show and take a look at all the pre-1973 cars and trucks and any-year motorcycles that have been brought to the show.
And when you get hungry you can purchase delicious BBQ sausages, hot dogs, drinks, and sweets from the Santa Cruz County Fair Heritage Foundation.
Visit the exhibit Thursday through Sunday from Noon-4:00PM, 2601 East Lake Avenue at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds.
