**Richmond, BC** – Stroll through historic Steveston Village as the past comes to
life with the _Steveston Alive! Walking Tour Vignettes_. Not just any ordinary walking
tour – visitors will discover what the past was like as talented Hugh McRoberts 
Secondary School drama student actors perform five short plays about living and 
working in Steveston in the year 1917.

The Steveston Historical Society and the Steveston Museum are excited to present
the Walking Tour Vignettes, now in its second year. This tour offers visitors an
engaging taste of history while allowing student actors to showcase their acting
skills.

_“We’re delighted to be bringing these entertaining and informative stories back
to the streets of Steveston this year. Tours sold out last summer, so be sure to
catch this unique show while you can!”_ commented Linda Barnes, the Chair of the
Steveston Historical Society.

Leaving from the Steveston Museum and Visitor Centre (3811 Moncton Street), a costumed
guide will lead you through the streets of historic Steveston to view each performance.
Tours will be offered on Saturdays at 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. in June and July. 
The walks are about 60 minutes long and will cover just over one kilometre in length.

Tickets are $10.00. Children under 12 are free when accompanied by a paying adult(
