SCV History Hops: Back to the ‘50s

SCV History Hops: Back to the ‘50s

The Santa Clarita History Center will be jumping and jiving when they celebrate the days of poodle skirts and pompadours with “SCV History Hops: Back to the ‘50s” on Saturday, October 19, from 5 to 9 p.m.

The History Center, home of the Saugus Train Station in William S. Hart Park, will be alive with the sounds of rock ’n ’ roll, complete with a checkerboard dance floor and a DJ spinning tunes to get people out of their seats. Classic cars and motorcycles you’ll want to admire will line the entrance to the Center, and guests might recognize a familiar pitch for “Vitameatavegamin” from a renowned Lucy impersonator who will mingle with the crowd and gladly pose for a selfie. Those inclined to grab the mike and swivel their hips are encouraged to do their best Elvis impression!

The fun doesn’t stop there! The Habit Truck will serve burgers, fries, and other delicious treats (food is included in the ticket). Pocock Brewing Company will pour beer and cider for guests, and soda pop will also be available.

The event is a fundraiser for restoration projects within the History Center. The Saugus Train Station needs a new roof and a new coat of paint to help build the museum of Southern Pacific and Union Pacific history. The Pardee House, destined to become our museum of local history with rotating exhibits, needs painting and museum infrastructure.

Tickets are $50 per person. Parking will be available at the former Senior Center on Market Street, with a shuttle before and after the event. Ridesharing is encouraged!
