The Friday evening festivities will be at the CREHST Museum. The Columbia River Exhibition of History, Science, and Technology (CREHST) is a museum and science center created to tell the dynamic story of the Columbia Basin and preserve the history of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation.

CREHST has been selected by Washington Commission for the Humanities to open an exhibit from the Smithsonian, Yesterdays Tomorrows: Past Visions of the American Future in Washington State in 2004. March 20- June 19.

Ray guns, robots, the Atom-Bomb House, and a nuclear-powered car are all part of Yesterday's Tomorrows: Past Visions of the American Future, which offers a unique history of popular expectations and beliefs about the shape of things to come. The exhibit uses demonstrations of popular culture such as toys, books, movie stills, World's Fair memorabilia, car designs, advertisements, and architectural designs to examine ways that Americans of yesteryear have envisioned our collective future. The exhibition concentrates on the past 100 years in American visions of the future that have swung between secular utopias and urban chaos. Visit CREHST for more information.
