1999-2024 Time Capsule

We regret to inform everyone that the planned 1999 Time Capsule event will no longer be taking place as originally scheduled. Unfortunately, the capsule was found to have leaked, and most of the items inside suffered significant water damage.

While this is disheartening news, we are doing our best to preserve what we can of these cherished memories. For those interested, we welcome you to view the items in person. In the meantime, here are some photos of the items we’re working hard to save. Thank you for understanding.
