Pioneer Days Collectible Show/Chamber of Commerce Mixer

Thursday, Oct. 9, 2003

Pioneer Days Collectible Show/Chamber Mixer A Fun Evening  The Pioneer Days Collectible Show at Bank of the West, held in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce, featured displays of historic Sierra Madre brought in from various local collectors.  Local legend Hugh Campbell told a humorous story about Alfred James Dewey, a deceased local artist of some renown, whose photos adorn the wall of the bank.  A silent auction was held, raising nearly five hundred dollars for the Sierra Madre Pioneer Days Association.  Bank of the West provided delicious sandwiches, vegetable trays and chips.  Between exhibitors and guests, more than 100 people attended the mixer and received a lesson in local history.  Congratulations to Dr. Bill White, who organized the event for the SMPDA, to the SMPDA, to the Chamber, and thanks to Jimmy Seradarian and the staff at  Bank of the West  for opening their venue to the Community, and for providing the delicious eats.  Click on a photo below to make it bigger.
