New museum exhibit looking for 100th anniversary Santa Paula/Fillmore Football material

The California Oil Museum is putting together a new exhibit on the 100th anniversary of the Santa Paula/ Fillmore football rivalry.
Heading up the project is Rose Ruiz. To put on an exhibit that captures the history of the rivalry over the past 100 years, the museum needs some help from the public.
Help needed is from those who lived through the rivalry, either by playing for one of the teams (mostly at the varsity level) and those who have great stories of high school pranks. Along with the great pictures taken from the Santa Paula Times, the museum needs personal pictures from the players and their families. They would also like memorabilia (like old jerseys, helmets, etc.) that can be borrowed and hung up or put on display.
The museum is looking to get great stories of memorable games, family history stories (like generations of players like grandpas, sons, brothers, and grandsons who have all played for the high school), great prank stories, and who the coaches and players think were some of the best players to come out of the Santa Paula Football program.
To help with this project you can contact Rose Ruiz at 933-0096; ask for Rosie or Jeanne Orcutt. You can also stop by the California Oil Museum Thursday or Friday between 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
