By Shawna White It appears that our
time travelling machine has a glitch. While we can't
pinpoint the exact cause of the disruption, we encounter a major malfunction
every time we try to travel back to the not so distant past. Our collection is
full of wonderful objects and incredible stories from over a century ago such
as the construction of the drill shed in Town Park (1874) and the Victorian Bicycle
Craze that rolled through Town in the 1890s, but stories from the 1970s, 80s
and 90s are rarer than hen's teeth. Every day at the
Museum we hear rumours, little snippets of long forgotten stories just waiting
to be retold. What's the story
behind the weekly wrestling matches at the Aurora Community Centre? How many
horses actually fit into Town Park? Could you really buy a house in Aurora for
less than $25,000? But just as we get close to learning the truth, the stories
vanish. Stories have to be told
or they die, and when they die, we can't remember who we are or why we are
here. Sue Monk Kidd, author Knowledgeable sources
have told us that within Town limits there are tens of thousands of fellow time
travellers, each with their own areas of interest and expertise. We are calling
upon you to share your experiences of life in Aurora. Write down the
details of your journeys (500 words) and send them to us. Help us save the past
for future generations. Be one of our contributing writers to this weekly Time
Travellers Diary column. No story too small, every word is an essential part of
who we are. There's always room
for a story that can transport people to another place. J.K. Rowling, author We know you're out
there. Please make contact.
