  • HIGH DESERT VOICES April 2017
    HIGH DESERT VOICES April 2017 News and Information published by and for Volunteers HDM: After Hours By Heather Duchow, Newsletter Writer Nearly 60 people came out to “celebrate the tail end of winter” at the HDM: After Hours event on March 10. Lovely spring-like weather on that Friday seemed to confirm that winter in the high desert would finally come to an end. Some people who had signed up for the event in advance were probably kept away by the sunshine and relative warmth, but several impromptu visitors made up the difference. Volunteer Tom Lyon greeted everyone at admissions with a smile. The inviting sounds of jazz duo Stone & Plankey drew guests in. Vocalist Clairon Stone and guitarist Jason Plankey put their spin on classics like “Crazy” and “Summertime.” Visitors found their way to the bar in front of the Silver Sage Museum Store windows, at the far end of the Collins Gallery, where Tyson Baird, the events manager, poured local libations. A nice selection of Oregon beer and wine was offered. Guests nibbled on snacks selected from an assortment of fruit, cheese, and crackers. Folks seemed to enjoy the setting in the Collins Gallery, surrounded by the photographs of the newly opened Legendary Landscapes exhibit. In addition to enjoying the Legendary Landscapes exhibit, most guests explored WWII: High Desert Home Front and The Buzzsaw Sharks of Long Ago. This event was a great opportunity to really savor these exhibits without a crowd. When not viewing exhibits, guests gathered in small groups around cocktail tables to chat or listen to music.

    HIGH DESERT VOICES March 2017 News and Information published by and for Volunteers New Exhibit Highlights World War II by Dave Price, High Desert Museum Volunteer The High Desert Museum’s new exhibit, World War II: The High Desert Home Front, opened to the public on Saturday, Janu- ary 28. The exhibit commemorates the 75th anniversary of Amer- ica’s entry into World War II. Its displays highlight wartime ac- tivities that took place in the high desert country of the western United States as well as the war's long-term impact on the region. The Museum opened its new World War II exhibit on January 27 with an exclu- sive evening social event for Museum members and their guests. The evening program included an opportunity to preview the exhibit, a social hour with excellent hors d'oeuvres, and a special lecture by Dr. David del Mar. Dr. del Mar is a prominent historian from Portland State University. His brief lecture introduced the Museum’s World War II exhibit, highlighting how the war altered the economy and culture of the high desert region. Approxi- mately 350 people attended the evening event, which was free for Museum members. The exhibit itself is excellent. It is expected to be one of the Museum’s most popular programs in quite some time. As a result, the exhibit is scheduled to remain open through September 4, a much longer run than most of the Museum’s temporary exhibits. According to Laura Ferguson, the Museum’s c Curator of Western History, “World War II touched virtu- ally every American, from the soldiers on the front lines to the men and women who expanded productivity at home to meet wartime demands.
