CalVada History Museum’s first event in 2026 was an amazing time with Mikie Royer sharing how to make a delicious soup from her “Thelma Sanders Winter Squash” that she grew from heirloom seeds. The soup was so yummy and we all got a copy of the recipe and some heirloom “Thelma Sanders Winter Squash” seeds!

We also enjoyed listening to stories from Karen Hill and Evelyn Moore about their families who were early settlers in Surprise Valley.

Thank you to our presenters and thank you to all who came! We look forward to seeing you in February when we host another “History Event!”
