A community celebration of historic Aptos Village is being planned for Saturday, April 30th from 11 AM until 2 PM. The event is to be held at the icon of Aptos Village, the Bayview Hotel. This is a free event, complete with refreshments and live music in the hotel’s garden. A number of long-time Aptos residents will be on hand to recount the history of the village.

Notable among them is Mrs. Anne Isaacs who will tell her story about lying down on the railroad tracks 55 years ago – dressed in costume from the 1880’s – to prevent a train from ruining the Aptos Community Family Picnic Day, and the World’s Shortest Parade. She’ll be joined by other card-carrying members of the famous Tuesday Afternoon Aptos Ladies Society (a group formed in 1961 to defeat a cement batching plant which had been planned for Aptos Village).

It should be a fun and interesting event, and if you’re curious about Aptos history, this ought to be an entertaining and educational event! For more information, call Nancy at 831-688-4453.
