A Grand Re-Opening of One of Campbell's Gems

Something special is taking place later today.

The grand of Campbell's Orchard City Banquet Hall takes place from 4:30-6:00 p.m. and will include tours of the revamped facilities, light refreshments and a ribbon cutting.

The big surprise?

The unveiling of the commissioned artwork.

"The art is beautiful, but I can’t give it away," says Cynthia Bojorquez, Campbell Recreation Department Executive Director. "It really is remarkable. It reflects Campbell. You will see something different every time you look at it."

• New storage area
• Drop ceiling
• New floor coverings
• Exterior and interior lighting upgrades
