Pasadena Museum of History seeks wedding memories

 Pasadena Museum of History wants to spotlight your special wedding memories – and share them with the public!
 
                In partnership with PasadenaNow.com, PMH invites you to help us create a virtual exhibition that celebrates our community’s rich wedding history.  Your memories and the images/videos illustrating them will be featured this summer in a special section of the local online newsmagazine.
 
                This virtual “gallery” is a companion piece to the Museum’s current two-part exhibition, I Do! I Do! Pasadena Ties the Knot, whichspotlights the wedding dress as an icon of social customs through the decades. Part I, 1850 to 1950 – on view through July 14 --showcases forty-two vintage wedding gowns from the PMH collection, along with historical narratives that tell the tale of a changing society as illustrated by this singular fashion item.  Part II, on view August 10 through October 20, presents gowns on loan from local residents, bridal shops, and designers that define a specific style and together create a chronology of bridal fashion decade by decade from 1950 to today.
               
Share Your Stories!
 
                We need your help to make this virtual exhibition come to life.  For the next few months, we will be collecting stories, images, and short videos to feature on PasadenaNow.com.  Please consider sharing one special memory from your own personal experience. Together, these memories and the images that accompany them will provide a representation of our common participation in an age-old ritual of uniting to celebrate love, family, partnership, and community.
 
                The “one special memory” may be from your own wedding, from one that you attended as a friend or family member, or a story handed down through your family history.  We are particularly interested in collecting memories that include a connection to the Pasadena community, but this is not a requirement. For a list of questions and topics to help you get started, please visit the PMH website at www.pasadenahistory.org.
 
Submission Guidelines
·         Send your memories (text and image/video) via email to: submissions@pasadenahistory.org .  Pleasedo not mail hard copies.
 
·         Memories should be 50-500 words in length and may be written in the body of the email or submitted as an attached document (such as a Word file).
 
·         We encourage you to include images or a short video file to illustrate your written memory. All images should be digital JPEG files attached to the email. Video clips should be under 2 minutes long and also attached to the email submission.
 
·         Include your name and phone number, the bride & groom names, date & location of wedding, and your connection to Pasadena (if any).
 
·         The use of profanity and/or inappropriate images will disqualify your entry.  Curators of this virtual exhibit reserve the right to edit all submissions. Due to the large volume of entries, we may not be able to post all entries. Thank you for your understanding.
 
If you have any questions about this project, please contact us at submissions@pasadenahistory.org.
 

Hula and Chant competition in Long Beach Aug. 30-Sept. 2

Southern California’s only Hula & Chant Competition is back at the Long Beach Terrace Theater this Labor Day weekend to celebrate and honor Hawaiian tradition and values at the 19th Annual E Hula Mau®. The celebration features three days of competition, with 13 halau (dance schools) from all over California and Nevada. In addition to the competition, E Hula Mau®provides the public free entry to the outside festivities, which includes arts and crafts, Hawaiian food, lectures, workshops, contests and entertainment.

The 19th annual competition is sponsored by NĂ  Mamo® (The Cherished Offspring), a nonprofit organization committed to preserving key Hawaiian values through social interaction and education.

Since 1995, E Hula Mau® has blended honored traditions with innovative ideas, creating a wonderful Hawaiian experience and feeling of ‘ohana (family) for event participants and spectators.

This year, approximately 600 dancers will be sharing their rendition of the hula (dance), mele (music) and oli (chant) as they compete throughout the weekend.

E Hula Mau® is an event where people will have opportunity to learn and appreciate the understanding of Hawaiian traditions,” said E Hula Mau® chair Mel Napuunoa. “We want to give people the chance to experience the kinetic poetry of hula and chant right here in Southern California.”

Various cultural workshops will be held throughout the weekend in the Hawaiian Cultural Village in front of the Terrace Theater and at The Westin Hotel in Long Beach. This year’s workshops feature the art of lei making, Hawaiian educational lectures, a slack key workshop, hula workshops and many more. All are open on a first-come, first-served basis. Some fees may apply. (Click here for a full list of workshops: http://ehulamau.org/events.php)

E Hula Mau® will also have a number of creative artisans and crafters demonstrating their talents throughout the weekend, along with a myriad of options for food, outdoor entertainment and informational booth for Hawaiian community organizations– all open for the public to enjoy!
