March 21 - Author Kelly Jones with her works of fiction and Jim Jones, former Idaho Attorney General author of "A Little Dam Problem."

Flashlights, knives, tools, cutlery and roller skates were just a few of the items Dave Heidemann talked about on the 22nd. He will back again March 28 with a presentation on vintage fishing equipment. 

Our winter lecture series is garnering some enthusiasm and this weeks presenter will be Dave Heidemann, former TF Police Officer. Dave is interested in all things Winchester and will be sharing his knowledge of Winchester collectibles with us on February 22 at 1 o'clock. This is the first of Dave's presentations, the second is March 28th where he will talk about vintage fishing gear.

Fun day with Karen Hirai Olen on the 15th. Karen went to the Union School as her family farmed in the area. She was born in the Minidoka Relocation Camp, but the family was released before she was two years old, so she doesn't have a lot of actual memories of the camp. Her parents didn't speak about much, at least to the children, so Karen and her siblings were insulated from much of the experience. 

Stop by at 1 o'clock to hear Jim Gentry's Overview of Twin Falls in the 1930's to the 1950's. Jim is always a popular speaker and typically the lectures are well attended, but we do have more chairs now and plenty of parking out back. Admission is free and open to the public, but please don't be late! Due to museum visitors arriving during lecture times we will not be open until after the program.

Shawn Willsey's geological presentation was very interesting and always fun. Many thanks to everyone that came out and we do have some of his books for sale at the museum.

Saturday, January 25th, Carl Nellis gave a very interesting presentation with furs, skulls, etc. of indigenous animal species. We also had him look at our winter coat display to determine which types of furs were commonly used for garments or trim. Carl has profound knowledge of his subjects and offered insight on many issues, including habitat and populations.
