Thanks to Paul C. Miller for capturing the spirit of last October's Monte Rio Revival in this video. Next Friday, June 5th from 5-9pm we'll gather again to celebrate the legacy and future of this historic downtown.

Some new highlights for this next event include the live music from BoHoss Boogie Boys & Special Guests, KJ Bluesman, and Alika Lemon, as well as local historian and ephemerist Ed Henry, who will be bringing for sale a large selection of vintage early 1900s postcards from the Russian River and the broader Bay Area.

The historical society archive will be open for visitors durign the event, and a special collection of historic photos and videos will be projected from another special downtown location.

Looking forward to coming together again as a community!

Such a clean machine
With the pistons a-pumpin'
And the hubcaps all gleam”
