Frankston residents have been invited to celebrate their city’s rich and diverse history at a special event next month. Frankston History Day 2017 will feature guest speakers, photographic displays, memorabilia and a short film produced to mark the occasion.
Mayor Brian Cunial said Frankston had come a long way since being pronounced a city in 1966. “Initially a quaint holiday destination for the wealthy, Frankston now provides regional shopping, education, health, recreation and entertainment facilities and opportunities for investment and jobs, while still maintaining a pristine foreshore and beautiful natural reserves,” Cr Cunial said.
Frankston History Day 2017 will be held on Saturday, October 7, at the Frankston Arts Centre, 27-37 Davey St, from 1-4pm. A light afternoon tea will be provided for a gold coin donation upon entry. Bookings are essential by searching ‘Frankston History Day 2017’ at eventbrite.com.au
And anyone with any interesting photos, memorabilia or stories to share is invited to contact Frankston City Council on 9784 1733 or email [email protected]
