Making Memories Scrapbook. Attendees to the event followed a Memory Trail to pick up scrapbook memory cards featuring the history of many of the downtown businesses. At the end of the trail, they took collected scrapbook memory pages to The Creative Quest who  assisted  in completing the scrapbook with covers, ribbons and embellishments. The end prize? You got to take home a beautiful Historic Downtown Glendale Scrapbook to commemorate your evening.
