It would make more sense for a child to add some color to the blouse, but if the sequins were original, that would paint a much less dour picture of Mrs. Winchester than we\u2019re used to hearing.<\/p>\n<p>When Winchester died in 1922, her possessions went to her niece, Daisy Marriott, who lived on the Peninsula and auctioned off many of the pieces. The blouse, however, was part of the Minnie Yeager Hall collection donated to the Campbell Museums in 1991 and has rarely been on public display.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are so fortunate that Campbell Museums agreed to loan us this artifact,\u201d Magnuson said. \u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful blouse, and it has been well-loved. We\u2019re so grateful that it\u2019s back where it started at Sarah\u2019s home.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=3412\">Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce\u2019s wedding NDA is toothless<\/a><\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Visitors to the Winchester Mystery House can see the blouse on museum tours. It\u2019s protected in a UV-resistant, temperature-monitored display case. Magnuson said the garment is on a long-term loan, but just how long it\u2019ll be on display is, well, a mystery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POLITICS AS UNUSUAL:<\/strong> San Jose Stage had a festive crowd for its 30th \u201cMonday Night Live!\u201d fundraiser, which included a touching tribute to longtime benefactor Robert J. Bettencourt, who died last October at age 78.<\/p>\n<p>The show, which drew heavily from San Jose Stage\u2019s summer musical, \u201cWe Will Rock You!,\u201d included tributes to all previous guest hosts (including yours truly, who hosted the show in 2023), delivered by San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, San Jose City Councilmember Michael Mulcahy and Republic Urban President Michael Van Every.<\/p>\n<p>Mahan, by the way, was a very good sport in taking a few shots about his failed campaign for governor. Explaining that he\u2019d spent the four-month campaign extolling the good stuff happening in San Jose, the mayor remarked, \u201cThe only thing harder than trying to fix California politics is trying to get California to believe San Jose exists.\u201d<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The audience also got a special treat with the release of the titles for the 2026-27 season: \u201cBarcelona,\u201d \u201cClue,\u201d \u201cThe Full Monty,\u201d \u201cTopdog\/Underdog\u201d and \u201cNetwork,\u201d an adaptation by Lee Hall of the Paddy Chayefsky-penned 1976 film.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IRISH GOODBYE:<\/strong> San Jose Vice Mayor Pam Foley and her husband, Mike Foley, hosted the Spirit of Ireland Award reception at their home on Saturday. The San Jose-Dublin Sister City Program, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, honored Joe Hedges, who is the city of San Jose\u2019s manager of international programs, and Miche\u00e1l Smith, consul general of Ireland in San Francisco. Hedges has been a driving force behind the city\u2019s robust sister-city relationships, and Smith will soon be departing his post in the United States to take on a new role as Ireland\u2019s ambassador to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BLUESY WEEKEND:<\/strong> There was plenty of applause to be had at the 45th annual Fountain Blues and Brews Festival in downtown San Jose last weekend. But the festival had an unsung hero who didn\u2019t even perform: board member Ed Solis, a retired parks superintendent for the city of San Jose. On Friday, a day before the festival was set to start, a water leak was threatening to flood Plaza Park. Solis, who knows his way around parks and the parks system, got things fixed before festivalgoers would have really been singing the blues.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=3410\">Wrong-way Highway 4 driver suspected of crashing into CHP car<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The garment, on loan from the Campbell Museums, will be on display at the Winchester Mystery House in Sarah Winchester&#8217;s bedroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3415,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3421","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
