Folk Lore in Our Lives
Folktales, like that of tale Eowyn Ivey bases
The Show Child on, and storytelling
are an important part of the traditions of cultures the world over. Terry Krueger,
a literature instructor at COCC, explores the significance—and the magic—of folklore
and why it’s an important part of our lives.
Making a Life on the “Last Frontier”
Using artifacts of the era, Bob Boyd will emphasize how little changed the skills
and tools of life in the 20th century Alaskan wilderness were from the nation’s
previous frontiers.
Homesteading Central Oregon
Join Kelly Cannon-Miller of the Des Chutes Historical Museum at the library to learn
about the reality of early 20th century homesteading in the high desert.
Make A Felt Fox
Make a little set of felt fox faces, like the little fox in The Snow Child. Local
craft maven Kelley Gilbert shows you how to apply these little guys to elbow patches,
coffee cup cozies and other great accessories! Limited to 15 participants. Register
online at one of the links below or by calling 541/312-1032.
Dutch Oven Cooking
Experience a taste of the past through Dutch-oven cooking demonstrations at the
High Desert Museum's 1904 Living History Ranch and at the Sisters Library. Join
Linda Evans, the Museum’s curator of Living History, as she demonstrates how to
prepare updated versions of authentic frontier dishes: beef stew, apple pie and
sourdough biscuits.
You’ll discover what life was like for High Desert settlers a century ago as you
sample the dishes. Take home recipes from 1879, along with instructions on the
best way to create them in a way to please a 21st-century palate. Class is limited
to 20 participants. Register online at one of the links below or call 541/312-1032.
