Beyond the Mint- Bus is Full, Stand by List started

 

It's official, the bus is full!

Our big event on Saturday, "Beyond the Mint: The Mid-Century Modern Architecture of Walter Zick", is shaping up to be a lot of fun.

Reservations for the bus tour have been streaming into the RSVP phone line for the last two weeks and as of this weekend, the bus is full.

We have started a stand-by list in case anyone who has made a reservation for the bus tour is unable to attend.

We are thrilled at the excitement and response we have been getting.

To recap:

11:30 am - Reception

12:00 pm - Panel Discussion featuring a DVD presentation by Lynn Zook (LasVegasLynn), a short talk by Alan Hess with an accompanying slide presentation followed by a round table discussion with Alan, Eric Strain of Assemblage Studios and Karen Zick Goff and Claire Zick Walker, daughters of Walter Zick.

The roundtable discussion will be moderated by Lynn and will include a question and answer segment with the audience.

$3 for the Reception and Panel Discussion, reservations are NOT required but it does sound like it will be SRO so don't be late.

1:30 pm - We begin loading the bus.

2:00 pm - Bus Tour begins

6:30 pm - Bus returns to the Nevada State Museum

$5 for the bus tour, a color tour booklet is included in the price. 

We are currently taking names for the stand-by list as the bus is full.

Hey Oscar...look around...there are many more and worse blights in the City of Las Vegas...why be in such a rush to tear down a part of the Las Vegas History? Same question for you, Mr. Barlow...and don't you have much more in your district that needs attention, demolition, and clean-up!
