travel through time as they go to different exhibits featuring a certain part of Dinuba’s past.
In addition, to give the event more elements of the time, a blacksmith, potter and quilter, to name a few, will be on hand demonstrating the craftsmanship of the time.
As an added bonus for the young ones, the Dinuba High School FFA club will also be out at the event with a small petting zoo, featuring many of the animals the club raises at the high school campus.
Though the event is open to all grade levels, Sorensen says much of the historical references actually fit right into the third grade curriculum.
The event will also explore
the many contributions of the Hispanic, Armenian and Chinese Immigrants to the area.
The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is open to the general public.
