Saturday U returns to Pinedale Sept 27 (posted 9/17/18)
Sublette BOCES
Saturday U. returns to Pinedale but it will be on a Thursday night. That Thursday night will be September 27th and the learning will start at 6 p.m. Two local organizations and the Wyoming Humanities Council are pleased to host the University of Wyoming’s special outreach program they call "Saturday U." The Sublette County Library will host the event in the Lovatt Room. Sublette BOCES will organize the evening and will provide a free light meal and drinks to the audience.

The purpose of Saturday U. on Thursday is to bring the research done by University of Wyoming professors to the people of Wyoming. Our one university is strongly committed to the goal of enriching education for everyone in Wyoming and that is also the goal of the two local organizations. For Sublette BOCES, it is also important to provide intellectual stimulation in a public setting.

One nice element of Saturday U. is that the topics always vary. This fall, the talks lean toward history.

Dr. Kent Drummond (from Business and Marketing) will bring a marketer’s perspective to explaining how the Wizard of Oz became and remains so popular.

Dr. Jeffrey Lockwood, one of U.W.’s more entertaining professors, is an Entomologist who teaches Philosophy. He will be presenting a talk on how swarms of locusts disappeared due to an incredible accident—teaching us more about how we interact with the natural world.

Finally, Dr. Susan Aronstein from the English Department will about give a talk on the myths and tourism that surround England’s King Arthur.

Book signing and reading on October 4 in Daniel

Book Signing by Mary Budd Flitner Oct. 4 in Daniel (posted 9/13/18)
New book: MY RANCH, TOO: A Wyoming Memoir
Sublette County Library/Big Piney Branch, and friends and family of Mary Budd Flitner, a Wyoming author with strong Sublette County ties, will host a book reading and signing for her new book MY RANCH, TOO: A Wyoming Memoir on Thursday, October 4th from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Joe Hausen Library in the Green River Bar in Daniel, Wyoming.

Flitner has been a prominent rancher in Wyoming for more than fifty years. She is the author of articles in High Country News as well as various Wyoming and Montana newspapers. Her recollections on a lifetime of Wyoming ranching begins with the story of her great grandfather, Daniel Budd, who in 1878 drove a herd of cattle into Wyoming Territory in what is now Sublette County. Four generations later, Mary grew up on the same ranch near Big Piney. After she married husband, Stan, she moved from her childhood ranch home to the Diamond Tail Ranch in the Big Horn Basin.

While the cowboy life evokes romantic images of handsome men moving droves of stampeding cattle through perilous conditions fraught with risk and adventure, Mary offers an authentic story of ranch life with all of its experiences and challenges woven together with the ties that bind she and her family to the land she loves.

Books are currently available at the Cowboy Shop in Pinedale, Wyoming. Appetizers and books will be for sale at the reading. Plan to wear your cowboy hat. We’ll see you there!

For more information contact Tawyna Miller at The Sublette County Library/Big Piney Branch at 307-276-3315.
