Step back in time as a new exhibit is set to open at the Sandpoint Organic Agriculture Center.

The University of Idaho along with the Pend Oreille Arts Council is putting on another great show and reception at the U of I’s Sandpoint Organic Agriculture Center (10881 N. Boyer Road) on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The "Step Back in Time" exhibit consists of working clothes and special garments as well as household appliances and tools from the post-war 1950s and 1960s. The displayed items are from the U of I’s historic collection and the Bonner County Historical Society and Museum.

The public is invited to attend this free reception which includes refreshments. Take a walk back into the ’50s and ’60s and think about who in your family was involved and active in this era. Plus view an incredible quilting exhibit showing the works of the Panhandle Piecemakers Quilt Guild and the Bosom Buddies Quilt Group.

If you miss this Saturday’s reception, the exhibit will be on display until Oct. 21. For more information contact Carol Deaner at carol@deaner.org or 208-290-7652.
