Home, Garden & Antique Show!


Sure hope to see you at the Annual Soroptimist of Chico Home, Garden & Antique Show this weekend! (March 21st and 22nd) I took photos at last year's show (click here to view) just to show folks how much fun it is. In addition to lots of items and ideas for the home and garden, there is a huge building devoted to antiques and another building with floral displays.
Lots of fun activities for the kids too! And the best part is that 100% of the gate proceeds support local community service projects. Click here to see a list of some of the good work this great group has done here in Chico (in addition to other parts of the country and world).
S/I Chico started up in 1931 and has been going strong ever since. (Emma Wilson and Hester Patrick were early members.) Soroptimist International was founded in Oakland, CA, in 1921. Currently there are over 90,000 members in more than 3,000 clubs in 124 countries/territories. Needless to say, this is one thriving organization!
