For each decade, there were displays and documents about CHRS accomplishments, including:
1. Birth Pangs and Growth;
2. Creation of the Historic District,
3. Safeguarding a Police Station;
4. Eastern Market;
5. Moving a Freeway;
6. Public Education;
7. Continued Outreach, and more.

Merchants from the South Hall of the market provided light catering for the event.

The event was preceded by a brief Membership Meeting.
