Pecha Kucha Night

"Who's your Daddy?" Janay Johnson, executive director of the Bozeman Public Library Foundation, got a stunning answer to that question when she took a DNA test recently.

At the next Pecha Kucha Night, Wednesday, May 15 and Thursday, May 16, Janay will share the details of this life-changing event and tell us how, at 53, she adapted to the news about her new family.

In a very different journey of discovery, Barbara Phinney, will describe her recent off-the-beaten-path hike with a group of five on the "Camino" de Costa Rica, a six-year-old trek through the back-country, staying in people's homes and seeing a very different side of this beautiful land.. Jacob Myers will present on his travels to a much colder part of the world with "What it Takes: My Journey Alone in Antarctica."

May's PK Night will also feature several presentations on Yellowstone and local history. Steve Sarles, who was a park ranger at Yellowstone for 18 years and then worked three years as a snow-coach driver/guide, shares his special passion for the park in the winter. And Peggy Kimmet will talk about what it was like to take a coach into Yellowstone more than 100 years ago in her PK on the Morning Glory Stage Coach. The M-Y Line operated from 1898-1912, and carried passengers from the railroad station at Monida, MT through the Centennial Valley to the Dwelle's stage stop just outside of present-day West Yellowstone.

Mary Sadowski will regale us with another piece of Montana history with her stories about Bear Canyon, including tales of a tough woman homesteader, Bozeman's first ski area, bootlegging, and the long-gone logging town of Commissary.

Steve and Anna Neff have been retracing and reliving history, with their passion for riding abandoned railroad tracks in Montana and California on "rail-bikes" they built themselves.
