Orchard Heritage Project seeks family histories
The Orchard Heritage Project is compiling an "honor roll" of families who have been involved with orchard businesses in Santa Clara Valley for 50 or more years. The collected names of families will be made part of a permanent exhibit at the Orchard Heritage Park Interpretive Exhibit (OHPIE).
According to Ann Hines, OHPIE volunteer, the center will "tell the story of the deep roots that were planted in this valley long before the growing of silicon crystals replaced the harvest of apricots, cherries, pears, plums, and walnuts."
The Orchard honor roll will be compiled continuously, but information received before April 15 will be included in the annual Orchard Heritage Blossom Faire and Barbecue on May 22. For more information, contact Ann Hines at (408) 738-0846.
