MUSEUM RECAP

June

Last month SPAM hosted its biggest event ever! Over 500 children and adults attended our Kids’ Art Fest, a free, outdoor event that offered hands-on art activities, face painting, caricature art, photo ops, food trucks, and more. It was so much fun! Click here to watch a short video from the event.

Thank you to our event sponsor, Rotary Club of Santa Paula, and to the individual donors who contributed to our February Facebook fundraiser for the event. And thank you to our incredible volunteers who worked the event: Denise, Alicia, Corrine, Isabel, Joanna, Kathy, Mariann, Nancy, Pam, Patti, Rebecca, Robin, Silvia, Susan, Vegie, Mike, Jim, and Lance.
