“It has been my passion to share America’s rich history from the turn of the 20th century through WWII with my younger generation. Many people do not recognize that this was an era of exciting changes in music, fashion, architecture, art, and innovations. From hot new dances with jazz music to the thrill of the automobile, the Machine Era was a thrilling time to live in! Now, thanks to my festival, people will have an opportunity to experience the attractions of this forgotten generation!”
