 Events and Programs

June 7, 2025

Traditionally, the first Saturday in June is the day to celebrate pioneer families of Bay County.  This year was no exception.  Some 60 members and friends of the Historical Society gathered at Oakland Terrace Clubhouse for the annual Pioneer Picnic.  A covered dish luncheon, musical entertainment and fellowship was enjoyed by all.  A special thanks to the St. Andrews Grocery Outlet for their donation of delicious pulled pork. Also, a big thank you to "Judy Bryte and the Boys" for providing a variety of enjoyable musical numbers and lots of laughter.  â€‹â€‹

Coming in September  

Later this summer, HSBC will present an opportunity for area residents to participate in our efforts to produce the Smithsonian Food Exhibition. HSBC will host a reception where we will seek the loan of old kitchen or food related artifacts. We would like to record oral histories of how old can-openers, milk bottles and similar kitchen items were handed down to your family. We will include as many items as possible in BAYSHORE BOUNTY, "The Culinary Heritage of Bay County." Look for more details coming soon on our Face Book page.
