Are you one of the many OCWS members who has been attending the OC Fair for decades? In honor of our 50th anniversary, and our 50-year relationships with the OC Fair, we will be showcasing a collection of OC Fair pins that feature a different fun theme each year.
We are missing a few years. If you have any of these years, we would appreciate borrowing it for our OC Fair display in July and August in The Courtyard. We will return it to you after the fair, or if you choose to donate it, it will become part of our permanent archives.
Here are the years we still need (borrowed or donated):
1970s: 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979
We are borrowing the following years from members, but we would like to make our collection complete. So, if you would like to donate one from any of the following years to make the OCWS collection complete, we would greatly appreciate it.
1990s: 1995
2000s: 2005
2010s: 2010, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019
2020s: 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025
If you have any of these buttons or other historical information on OCWS, please contact Carolyn Christian at carolyn@OCWS.org. We will be putting the display cases together the first two weeks of July, so please contact us right away.
Thank you in advance for supporting our efforts to document and celebrate our 50th anniversary. A special thank you to Sara Yeoman and Sue England, who have already loaned us buttons from their collections for some years that we were missing.
