BANQUET AND PROGRAM SET FOR MAY 8TH
Rocky Mountain ghost towns are filled with chilling but captivating stories...such as those about the ghosts of Annabelle Stark–“Dirty Annie” of St. Elmo, Colo., or Esther Morris—first woman to hold political office in the U.S. in 1870 in South Pass City, Wyo., or the shrewd undertaker’s trick in Castle, and the Red Light District of ghostly Ashcroft,...plus many others in haunted western locations.
“Ghost Towns of the Rockies", an entertaining educational program hosted by the Cheyenne Genealogical and Historical Society will be presented on Tuesday, May 8th at the Cheyenne Holiday Inn by Preethi Burkholder--author, artist and entertainer who has an MA degree in ethnomusicology and lives in Lafayette, Colorado.
The event will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the Shoshone Room of the Holiday Inn with check-in, a silent auction and dinner as prelude to the program at 7 p.m. Registration for the $15-dinner is necessary for this event by calling Judy at 632-2623; deadline for reservations is Friday, May 4 at 4 p.m. Guests wishing to attend the program-only for $5 may also pre-register. This is the 2012 capstone program sponsored by the Cheyenne Genealogical and Historical Society whose mission is to stimulate and encourage family history research.
