“Soil Before Silicon: Glimpses of our Agricultural Past”

Description

“Soil Before Silicon: Glimpses of our Agricultural Past” on January 24!! Celebrating the Valley’s Agricultural and Cultural Heritage
The Saratoga Historical foundation will launch a series of three lectures on local history starting with “Soil Before Silicon: Glimpses of our Agricultural Past” by the Fruit Cocktail Club on January 24.
The Fruit Cocktail Club will take a lighthearted look at films of Saratoga and the Santa Clara Valley when it was known as The Valley of Hearts Delight. The presentation includes clips from the 20s, 40s, and 60s showcasing locally shot orchard footage. These will be woven with some clips from newsreel, documentary, and corporate films over the decades to show the general change from agriculture to technology. Audience participation is encouraged so experiences of growing up, working, and living in the Santa Clara Valley are shared. Potluck will be at 6:30 PM and the film at 7:30 PM on Wednesday, January 24. If you participate in the potluck bring food to share, your own utensils and cups. Coffee or hot water for tea will be provided. The film will be free for members, $5.00 donation asked for nonmembers. The meeting will be held at the Saratoga Foothill Club at 20399 Park Place in Saratoga, CA. Come prepared to reminisce. For more information go to http://www.sartogahistory.com or call 408-867-4311.
