Recently, ACE held a pop-up museum at the Salinas Valley Food & Wine Festival in downtown Salinas. The Festival provided us with the space. Henry Gong managed the pop-up. Cathy Chavez-Miller and her husband, Michael brought the tent and tables. Wally Ahtye provided invaluable help and great photos. They had a chance to meet and talk to many people in the festival setting. Thanks, all!

Thank you Jean and Kristen for creating a lovely and colorful platform for the Asian Cultural Experience to showcase our Pop up Museums and events.
You’re welcome, Cathy!
