The Quesnel and District Museum and Archives invites the public to a special event happening tomorrow (February 25) afternoon.
Elizabeth Hunter, Museum and Heritage Manager for the City of Quesnel, said this is part of the process to build an oral history collection and develop a new Quesnel Rodeo and Ranching exhibit .
Hunter said right now she is putting together some of their own rodeo images from the past and is hoping someone can help identify who they are.
She added people often bring their own photos and treasures to share along with stories about them which the museum hopes to use later on.
“We get permission to just do a general recording for information purposes and often we will follow up and do individual videos or audio recordings from people that can be used when we develop a final exhibit.”
Hunter also explained how long this exhibit idea has been in the works.
“We started talking about it last Fall, so there’s a group of people from the Rodeo Club that’s had probably two or three meetings to just plan what we could do, what space we could allocate and to start planning for this event.”
This community gathering takes place tomorrow (Wednesday) 1 til 3 at the Quesnel and District Museum and Archives and everyone is welcome.
