SPECIAL FREE EVENT Sunday November 1, 2:00 to 5:00 pm Trader Joe’s Building, Penn Ave, Village of Eastside Wine, cheese, and entertainment will be provided To kick off a major historical festival planned for 2010, the East End/East Liberty Historical Society will hold a special public event which will feature presentations of old photos, postcards, artifacts, and other memorabilia about East Liberty and Highland Park. This event is free and open to the public. Long-time East End resident George Clark and others will exhibit some of their unique collections. The Trader Joe’s building housed the East Liberty Post Office prior to the redevelopment of the 1960s. We will show photographs of the building before and after renovation. Our event will be held in the vacant store space next to Relax the Back, which is adjacent to the Trader Joe’s store. Ample free parking is available. Since the publication of our book Pittsburgh's East Liberty Valley, numerous people have told us that they have additional historical information or materials to share. If you have anything you might be willing to display or a story to relate at this event, please get in touch with me. All items will of course be returned after the program. This is an opportunity to help our community by preserving our wonderful heritage. At the November 1 event, we will also be asking people to sign up to help organize the 2010 East Liberty festival. If you cannot attend the meeting, I would still appreciate hearing from you to indicate your willingness to help. Thank you.
