Ski and Heritage Museum continues its Brown Bag Lunch Series with Diane Josephy Peavy and Heather Ha

The Ketchum Sun Valley Ski and Heritage Museum’s Brown Bag Lunch Series continues this fall with exhibition talks every Wednesday from 12:30 to 1:30 pm. The topics will change each week and relate to the current exhibits in the Ski and Heritage Museums. The talks are formatted for a brief twenty-five minute talk with fifteen minutes of question and answers.

Diane Josephy Peavey and Heather Hammond from the Trailing of the Sheep will be in the Heritage Museum speaking about the festival, its roots, its importance to the community and the history of sheep ranching in the West.  Peavy writes stories about her life on a sheep and cattle ranch in southcentral Idaho - its people, history and the changing landscape of the American west. These pieces have aired weekly on Idaho Public Radio for 15 years and many are collected in her book Bitterbrush Country: Living on the Edge of the Land.  Her writings also have appeared in numerous magazines, journals and in anthologies. Diane has been an invited poet at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada and a panelist in discussions on Women in Ranching at this event. She was the first director of the Idaho Rural Council, the Literature Director for the Idaho Commission on the Arts and is the co-founder with her husband John of the October Trailing of the Sheep Festival in the Wood River Valley.

Heather Hammond is the Development director for The Trailing of the Sheep festival and has worked with them for the past several years.  Please call KSVHS at 726-8118 if you have any questions or more information about the Brown Bag Lunch Series.  The talk is free and open to the public.  The Museums are located at 180 First Street in Forest Service Park.
