The Packinghouse Creative (341 A Street Fillmore) will be one of two Fillmore locations featured on the 34th Annual Barn Tour on Saturday April 27, 2019. Packinghouse Creative founder, David Storrs, likes to think outside the box. He came to Fillmore and fell in love with the town about five years ago. He purchased the one-time orange packinghouse facility and converted it into a creative space for luthiers and other skilled artisans. A portion of the 8,000 square foot facility currently houses an array of private collection items celebrating Americana culture. Unique vintage items include cars, hundreds of antiques, movie props, old signs, and full-size vignettes of days gone by. The facility is seldom open to the public. The other four locations on the Barn Tour include: The Bunny Hill Farm (2206 Grand Ave. Fillmore); The Agriculture Museum (c. 1888) (926 Railroad Ave. Santa Paula); Ranch Rodoro (c. 1870) (14732 W. Telegraph Rd. Santa Paula); and The Fig Tree Farm (c. 1919) (1372 1W. Telegraph Rd. Santa Paula). Tickets are $25 per person and include lunch (12 and under are $5 per person). Hours are 10am-3pm. The event will benefit the Santa Clara Valley Hospice/The Home Support Group Inc. To purchase tickets in advance please call 805.330.0093, or visit the Sana Clara Valley Hospice/The Home Support Group Inc. at 217 10th St., Santa Paula. Tickets will also be sold on the day of the event at the Agriculture Museum in Santa Paula. Hospice is pleased to announce that they will be better serving the Fillmore and Piru communities when they open their satellite office in Fillmore. The grand opening is scheduled for May 15, 2019. |
