Do you have a treasured item at home with a story to tell? Share it at Show and Tell for Grownups!

Rediscover the joy of show and tell in this fun and welcoming program designed just for adults. Bring an object that is meaningful to you and share the story behind it with others. Whether it's a cherished family heirloom, a unique collectible, a travel souvenir, a favorite book or record album, a work of art, a photograph, an antique, or something connected to your hobbies or personal interests, every item has a story worth sharing.

Each participant will have up to five minutes to introduce their item, explain why it is special, and tell the story that makes it memorable. You're welcome to bring more than one item if you'd like, time permitting.

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with others, discover fascinating stories, learn about a variety of interests, and celebrate the memories and experiences that make our community unique. You may even meet fellow enthusiasts who share your passion for history, collecting, genealogy, music, art, travel, or other hobbies.

No presentation experience is necessary; just bring an item, your curiosity, and your story. We'd love to hear it!

Recommended for adults. Registration is not required.
