Description: The history of the Barnyard is rooted in community, family, and education. The origins of the Barnyard date back to the mid 1970’s when the original Thunderbird Bookshop was purchased by John and May Waldroup. To accommodate the success of the Thunderbird Bookshop, they founded the Valley Barn in 1976 which now stands today as The Barnyard Shopping Village in gorgeous Carmel, C.A. What separated Thunderbird bookstore then, and remains a key role at the Barnyard today, is the community presence. The Thunderbird Bookshop placed community at its forefront, holding an array of monthly events such as book signings, panels, art exhibitions, and cooking classes. The bookstore always featured local artists and authors but also hosted notable guest visitors such as Ray Bradbury (author of Fahrenheit 451), astronaut Alan Shepard, and Pulitzer-winner, Wallace Stegner. The Thunderbird bookshop thrived for a marvelous 28 years; even at one point opening a separate store called Thunderbird Kids. In 2004 the bookstore closed but the memories and stories live on in May Waldroup’s book, “Then and Now: A Short History of the Thunderbird Bookshop”.--Barnyard Shopping Vintage Carmel This bookmark measures 7 1/4 by 2 1/2 inches and features an illustration of a thunderbird and bookshop.
