Romano Gabriel Garden Update
Romano Gabriel's Garden continues to have an impact on viewers who visit the former Pine Street environment, now at its 315 Second Street storefront location. To construct the garden, Gabriel used materials close at hand and skills he developed throughout his life. Gabriel's unique spirit and zest for life invites visitors to contemplate the forms he so vividly depicted, and the political and social messages they convey. This assemblage is an outstanding example of folk art, and truly one of Eureka's treasures. It can easily be viewed at its Old Town location, and is currently illuminated for your enjoyment as well. Share it with a friend! .... Carol Hale
Holiday Celebration
| A sold-out holiday party was held in Eureka's newest
waterfront building on December 19, 1999. Our final event of the
decade was a success in every way: we made history as the group chosen for
the building's inaugural use, at the close of 1999. Our location,
the new Wharfinger Buildingo, was a beautiful site. The party was
will attended, with lovely decorations, a wonderful buffet, and delightful
music by the Presby Bell Ringers and and HSU string trio. We thank
those of you who attended for helping make it a success.
