bee: [bee]  / bi / - a community social gathering in order to perform some task, etc:
a sewing bee; a spelling bee; a (hi)story-telling bee

Join us for an afternoon of good stories and great company!

Local history is full of incredible stories, and we bet you know a few. Come share them at the El Cerrito Historical Society’s first ever History Bee — a casual get-together where we’ll eat, drink, and swap fun stories of the town we love.

     For our inaugural Bee, the society suggests a theme: Making Mischief in El Cerrito.  

     Maybe the mischief is yours. (Did you ride go-karts down Moeser, as a kid? Hunt for tadpoles in open storm drains? Wreak havoc at Camp Herms?)

    Or perhaps you know a tale of bygone shenanigans too good to keep to yourself (like how a 1930s gambling czar got the best of authorities who wanted to close his nightclub inside the adobe).

     Either way, come with a fun story — or an appetite to listen! We’ll provide the snacks, drinks, and seats.
