HISTORIES OF BUILDINGS AND PAST RESIDENTS

We are in search of the histories of the historical buildings in town. This includes buildings no longer there, such as the canneries. We are looking for stories and photos. If you know who lived in certain buildings in the past or have old photos we would be very grateful if you would share them with us. All photos will be returned. If you have stories we are interested in those also.

History Essay Contest for Students

The IBAHS is promoting a History Essay Contest for the eighth graders attending Isleton Elementary School and also for the Rio Vista High School students. The Eighth Grade winner will receive a fifty-dollar ($50.00) savings bond and the High School student will receive a monetary prize towards their education. IBAHS Vice-President Ligaya Apalit is the Chairperson and will be coordinating this project with the schools.

Name that Newsletter Contest Prizes

The lucky winner of the Name that Newsletter Contest will be given a free night at the Delta Daze Inn Bed and Breakfast at 20 Main Street in Isleton. If you are the winner, you may even have your pick of the theme rooms. Included is a scrumptious breakfast in the sunny breakfast dining area. This offer is for any Sunday through Thursday when rooms are available. The winner also receives dinner for two at the River's Edge Cafe at 7 Main Street in Isleton. Please check the schedules of both businesses beforehand. These prizes do not have to be collected on the same day; for example, you can stay at the Delta Daze on one occasion and dine at the River's Edge on another occasion.

Name That Newsletter Contest Extended (again)

The Name that Newsletter Contest deadline has been re-extended to April 21, 2006. We want our quarterly newsletter to have a name. You can enter as many times as you like, but if there is a tie the prize will go to the first to submit the name. Postmarks will count. Therefore, all entries should be mailed to the IBAHS at PO Box 933, Isleton, CA 95641. In order for the contest to be fair for all we have a very qualified outside judge that publishes a well-known historical magazine. Please make sure all entries are legible.
