An excursion to the DigiBarn headed by curator Bruce Damer will be embarking from the VCF at approximately 3:00pm on Sunday. Those wishing to join the caravan should meet in the front lobby of the museum (near the VCF registration tables) starting at 2:45pm. Participants of the excursion will be required to carpool as parking is limited at the DigiBarn facilities.
For those who can stay for dinner, we will be retiring to the local Boulder Creek Brewery after the tour (at pproximately 5:30pm).
