Gourmet tamales, great music, crafts activities for kids and behind-the-scenes tours of the historic and newly repaired “caracol tower” of the Southwest Museum are are all on tap at the Mount Washington Association's annual "Summer Fun Meeting" on Sunday, July 19 from 2pm-4pm in the Museum’s shaded courtyard (234 Museum Drive).

The Mount Washington Association has partnered with the Southwest Museum and the Southwest Society to offer an up-front look at the restoration efforts that are ongoing in the Museum’s tower, including a climb up the spiral stairway to museum founder Charles Lummis’ former office, with its sweeping, 360 degree views of Los Angeles.

The museum will also offer the exhibit, "Sounds of the Circle: Wax Cylinder Recordings of Charles Fletcher Lummis," a look at the orginal recordings that Lummis used to preserve the early California music performed by musicians he encountered and gathered into his circle, music that would otherwise have been lost to our history.

Food will be provided by Mom’s Tamales, whose Lincoln Heights restaurnant on Pasadena Avenue has become a mecca for lovers of Mexican delicacies, offers tamles made from by Maria Morales and her family, to be featured this August the Food Network show, "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives."
