On Saturday, May 31st, at 2p, at History House, enjoy the next in the Fremont Fireside Chat series of free presentations – this time out, learn about the history behind ‘Fremont Month’ (a.k.a. ‘June’ in common vernacular.) Sponsored by HomeStreet Bank, Fremont’s own Mayor, Armen Napoleon Stepanian, will talk about what led to the start of the Fremont Fair and our month long celebration of all things Fremont!
Stepanian started the first-ever curbside recycling effort for the City Of Seattle from Fremont, and served as Fremont’s Mayor during many of the communities most transformative years – including during the installation of the ‘People Waiting for the Interurban’ by Rich Beyer, and the painting of the Fremont Bridge blue and orange. (If Stepanian cannot attend due to health issues, hear about the history of this incredible mayor – and humble carpenter – from Fremocentrist.com’s own Kirby Lindsay.)
This family-friendly, free presentation further explores the culture and history of Fremont live (no reading involved.) Come meet Stepanian, and learn more about how Fremont became the Center of the Universe. For more information, contact instigator@box2219.temp.domains
