Don't Miss this Year's Restore Omaha Event
Friends –
- Need inspiration to tackle some of your old-home projects?
- Have questions on the best products to use in restoring and preserving your older property?
- Looking to meet and learn from other owners of historic buildings?
- Or, just love history and architecture?
Then join me in attending the fourth Restore Omaha Saturday, February 28 at Metro’s South Campus at 27th and Q Streets.
This year we are excited to bring in Kelly Sutherlin McLeod, AIA, as our keynote speaker. Kelly served as project architect for the nationally-recognized conservation of one of the country's most notable Arts & Crafts homes, the Gamble House in Pasadena, California. Attached are before and after pictures of the house and its amazing transformation.
We also have another great line-up of break-out sessions this year. Topics included porch restoration, repairing plaster, painting exterior woodwork and window and weather stripping along with talks on landscaping, preservation basics, small commercial projects and a panel discussing the effects of development on historic neighborhoods. Plus for Omaha history lovers we will have a special treat… Louie Marcuzzo, owner of Louie M’s Burger Lust, will share the history of Omaha’s Little Italy neighborhood and Pat Slaven with the City of Omaha will talk on the history of Omaha’s park and boulevard system.
You also don’t want to miss our opening reception at Prouty Place Dos, a renovated mixed-use building at 4825 S. 25th St., Friday, February 27 from 7 to 10 p.m. A pre-renovation reception in the building was the highlight of the 2008 Restore Omaha. This year, attendees will have the opportunity to see an updated look at this amazing home-business-art gallery in the heart of South Omaha. Reception cost is $15.
Cost to attend the conference is $35. A bargain for admission includes the keynote lecture, three educational sessions, lunch and the Restoration JAM! reception. And, you can save $10 by registering before February 13. Visit %uri for full details and to register. For questions call 402-457-2241 or e-mail Hanne Kruse at hkruse@mccneb.edu.
