Extra! Extra! 鈥� I read it in the Record!
That鈥檚 the name of a new exhibit coming to the Okanagan Heritage Museum in 琉璃神社.
Travel back in time to 1908 when the first publication of the Orchard City Record newspaper was put out.
鈥淩eading the headlines from the Orchard City Record is quite the experience,鈥� said curatorial manager Amanda Snyder. 鈥淢ore than a hundred years later, many of the headlines are still relatable and engaging. Some reveal what mattered to residents, while others illustrate how much has changed 鈥� or, in some cases, how much remains the same. It鈥檚 a great snapshot of our city鈥檚 history, and I鈥檓 sure residents and visitors will find it very interesting.鈥�
The exhibit will showcase a variety of stories from the Orchard City Record, archival photos and artifacts. Attendees can even try their hand at type-setting.
Extra! Extra! opens on April 20. Admission to the museum is by donation.
