We hope that everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving holiday, survived the shopping madness (for the record, we did not go near a shopping mall) and are ready for a fun-filled week of events.

I'll be posting more about them in the next day or two but circle your calendars for these important dates:

Wednesday, Dec. 2nd:  I am giving a lecture on the History of Neon in Las Vegas at the Sun City Anthem Learning Center at 1:00 pm.

Thursday, Dec. 3rd: Untold Stories at the Springs Preserve:  "The Las Vegas You Don't Know" with Dr. Michael Green, Mark Hall-Patton and Donna and Gail Andress.  6:30 pm.

Sunday, Dec. 6th:  The Friends of Classic Las Vegas will have their annual Holiday Party!  Lots of food and drink to share along with special guest, Don Payne talking about the history of Las Vegas.  The fun begins at 2:00 pm.  It's a pot-luck style gathering so email me for details about what to bring and where!
