Past 2015 Events - Sunnyvale Heritage Park Museum

November 15, 2015 – Craft Fair

The Polish hedgehog (jeżyk) craft making class held at the museum last year was so popular that we decided to do it again, this time offering two classes—the Polish hedgehog class and a “Make and Take” activity taught by the Sunnyvale Lace Museum. Click Here for more photos.

October 13, 2015 – General Meeting
