Treasure's Gathering, 2004

Longtime Sierra Madre residents gathered at Memorial Park to meet with old friends who returned for the Pioneer Days Treasure's Gathering. Former residents came from all over to reminisce with old friends, review historic photo displays, share their own personal family albums, and talk about the town in the good old days.
