Attendees enjoyed meeting several original Hollywood Shorties, actors and stuntmen that offered up some stories about their careers.
A video loop shows many of the charitable events that were played on the basketball court and baseball diamond.
Special guests included Howard Lazar, Ryan Steven Green, filmmaker and creator of the documentary The Hollywood Shorties, Braden Barty, son of Billy Barty (and his family) and Mark Povinelli, President of the Little People of America.
Attendees also enjoyed walking through The Museum along with plenty of food to enjoy.
A great time was had by all!
Much thanks to all board members and especially Jackie Langa that worked tirelessly on the creation of this exhibit and Ryan Steven Green who has provided the artifacts on loan to The Museum for this exhibit.

Howard Lazar ran the street artist program of San Francisco into the ground.
He spent more time at his other full time job as a janitor at the South End Rowing Club than he spent in the SF Arts Commission offices. For 42 years he ripped off the taxpayers of San Francisco because he was paid for 40 hour a week but only worked for 10. His bosses never cared. When Lazar was caught exiting from the South End Rowing Club by a SFDA investigator in 2015, he was forced to resign.
Lazar and Mike Addario fought constantly. Many people dropped
out of the program due to the fighting. No one wanted to hear it. They were just there to work.
I reached my limit when Addario gave his speeches at the 6am lotterys. Eventually,
he was boos off the plaza. He still rants but no one listens.
Lazar never lived in the San Fernando Valley. He was born in New Jersey, the son
of a butcher. He grew up there. This can be seen in a case filed against him in the San Mateo Superior Court.
Lazar’s parents bought him a house in San Raphael. Lazar defaulted on the payments
to his parents and they sued him.
