A meeting has been set for Feb. 11 to discuss a "Hixson Treasures from the Past" exhibit.
It will be at the North River Civic Center, 1009 Executive Dr., on Saturday at 10 a.m.
Persons interested in helping with the exhibit are asked to attend.
The North River Civic Center will showcase items that pertain to Hixson history. These are items that have been loaned to the center by individuals and organizations specifically for this special exhibit. The items will be displayed on the walls of the civic center and in a large glass case similar to a trophy case that can be locked.
Linda Rugina, director of the Civic Center, invites everyone to share their Hixson history by entering local photographs, costumes, manuscripts, archives and artifacts, including items that pertain to historic events, groundbreaking innovations or lively cultural scenes. It is preferred that items suitable for display on the wall be prepared by you for such display in advance, but if you need assistance with that, please feel free to contact Linda Rugina as she may be able to provide such assistance. It is not permissible to mark as being for sale the items that you offer for display in the exhibit. If it would not be feasible or advisable for the original of any of the items you would like to display to be loaned to the Civic Center for the exhibit, please consider providing a photograph of the item or for your old photographs, a copy of the original photograph.
The exhibit will be at the civic center from March-May.
Items to be entered into the exhibit should be delivered to Ms. Rugina at the Civic Center by Friday, Feb. 17.
For more information, contact Ms. Rugina at 870-8924 or rugina_l@chattanooga.gov
