  CHICO PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
  A DOWNTOWN LANDMARK

  

  In 2018, the Bidwell Presbyterian Church located at First Street and Broadway celebrated its 150th year in Chico. Dave Nopel will present the story of that church, beginning with the arrival of Annie Bidwell in Chico in 1868, the construction of the first prominent church building on the northeast corner of Broadway and Fourth Street, and then the present building was finished in 1910. Nopel will build his presentation around projected pictures, and draw from his family’s long association with that church and his father’s collection of information and images.

  Barbara Padgett Gore will present a program that she titles “Memorable Moments of Synchronicity While Conducting My Antique Business.” She moved to Chico when she was 5, went through the Chico schools, and has operated her “Barb’s Buy-Gones” Antique Store in Durham for 36 years. She relates synchronicity to coincidence and will tell stories and show items that she has acquired relating to Chico events and people during the handling of estate materials. According to Barb, these connections “happen all the time.”
