It never seems to slow down, does it? There were just four weeks between the amazing Battle Canyon anniversary celebration and the annual Membership Appreciation Day. Perhaps that was why some of you missed the outstanding program that day

Guest speaker, Thad Beach, presented a great multi-media program about the Dirty Thirties - entertainment at its best! We try to provide a variety of programs to our members as we know people are interested in different things. We always welcome your suggestions for programs and displays, so don’t hesitate to contact us.

If you didn’t make it to the Battle Canyon symposium or to the membership appreciation meeting, you probably haven’t seen the newest paintings and priceless artifacts in the Jerry Thomas Gallery. Some of the artifacts are directly related to Battle Canyon and/or the history of the Northern Cheyenne. Jerry has been acquiring these items for some time and is rightfully proud of the new displays that showcase them. There is so much to see in the Jerry Thomas Gallery, and it is time well spent.

One more SPECIAL EVENT before the year comes to a close - the Christmas Open House and ever-popular Sugar Plum Sale! This is scheduled for Sunday, December 15th.

TIME CHANGE: We’ll run from 1:30 to 3:30, with a drawing for raffle prizes at 3:30. Among the raffle prizes will be one of Tava See’s famous German chocolate cakes, a gift plate of Marvel Hopkins Keyse’s marvelous fudge and Patsi Graham’s practically perfect peanut brittle! There will be at least one more item for your choice.

            We will be selling holiday cookies and candies by the pound and will serve refreshments. It’s a fun afternoon – don’t miss it!

            Now, of course, we need your help. If you can provide a batch of cookies or candy, would you please call the museum 872-5912, or Patsi 872-3523, or e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . This is the only fundraiser we hold during the year and we need your support to make it successful.

We’ll be decking the halls soon, and our holiday exhibit in the temporary gallery is a beautiful display of Hallmark Christmas collectibles on loan from Trudi Eikenberry.  

REMINDER: Year-end donations to the SC Historical Society in any amount are tax deductible and would be greatly appreciated!

                        HAPPY THANKSGIVING – MERRY CHRISTMAS
