ON EXHIBITSON EXHIBITS

By Andy Granitto, Curator of Exhibitions

Yakima Bigfoot Round-Up 2014October 10-12 at the Yakima Valley Museum

Install it and they will come!

When Sasquatch Revealed opened in April, Christopher Murphy—the writer, artist, and researcher who compiled and curated the exhibit—was overwhelmed by the installation design. He praised our work, stating emphatically that the exhibit never looked so good, even when it premiered at the prestigious Museum of History in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Murphy’s entourage of noted bigfoot researchers and enthusiasts who came to the exhibit opening agreed and quickly spread the word, encouraging all to come to Yakima and see the exhibit. Thus began a plan to gather the “bigfoot community” in Yakima, around Sasquatch Revealed. The museum staff offered to help facilitate any sort of “rendezvous” or informal gathering. Murphy contacted Tom Yamarone, who organizes and coordinates such events from his California home; and, before we knew it, Yakima Bigfoot Round-Up 2014 was born.

The event will open on Friday evening, October 10, with an informal “mixer” and a tour of Sasquatch Revealed by Christopher Murphy, followed by a talk on pioneers of bigfoot research, including Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin of Yakima, who released the first alleged film of the creature in 1967. It was this film that introduced the mystery of bigfoot/sasquatch to American popular culture.

On Saturday, October 11, the museum will be filled with Bigfoot Round-Up attendees, many of whom are traveling from far and wide to gather in Yakima and hear the latest research findings

Bill Munns (above) and Dr. Jeff Meldrum (right) will present recent research findings at the Yakima Bigfoot Round-Up 2014 on Saturday, October 11.

from Dr. John Bindernagel, Dr. Jeff Meldrum, and Bill Munns, who will present programs in the museum’s Centennial Hall. Bob Gimlin will also speak, recounting his experience in Bluff Creek, California, on October 20, 1967, when he and his late friend and companion Roger Patterson encountered a strange creature and caught the event on film.

Saturday evening, there will be a Tribute Banquet in the Great Hall, under the Neon Garden. After drinks, conversation, and dinner, there will be a special program celebrating the pioneering work of many early bigfoot/sasquatch researchers.

Sunday will be a special "’squatchers only" day at Yakima Valley Museum. Although the museum is closed to the public on Sunday, it will be open for Bigfoot Round-Up attendees. There will be programs in the Great Hall discussing sasquatch habitat, curious sounds recorded in the Sierras, and a talk on footprint evidence from Bluff Creek and the Pacific Northwest by Cliff Barackman of Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot television show. Everyone will also get to tour the Sasquatch Revealed exhibit one last time and socialize with old and new friends before leaving Yakima to continue their quest for this popular and elusive creature.

If this sounds interesting to you, hurry and get your tickets right away; they are selling fast. Maximum attendance for the Friday and Saturday programs is only 150, but there will be room for 200 on Sunday, so there will be an extra 50 tickets available. Prices are very reasonable—starting at $15 for a lecture series and topping out at just over $100 for all events with reserved front-rows seating for lectures. We expect all events to sell out in advance.

For more information on the event and ticket prices, visit the museum website at www.yakimavalleymuseum.org or Tom Yamarone’s site at www.bigfootsongs.blogspot.com. To purchase tickets and reserve your place at Yakima Bigfoot Round-Up 2014, please email Tom Yamarone at [email protected].

Art Exhibit on the HorizonAn extensive sampling of Yakima Valley Museum’s collections of fine, decorative, and commercial art will open in February of 2015.

Although the museum focuses on regional history and artifacts, we have been slowly amassing quite a collection of art. A special exhibit that will open in February 2015 will feature this diverse collection of “art in the broadest sense.” Everything from architectural drawings and advertising design to quilts and beadwork to paintings and sculpture will be placed on exhibit, many pieces for the first time. Because the exhibit will be so varied—not an art exhibit in the traditional sense—we have not yet decided on a title. Similarly, we have not yet made our choices from the hundreds of “art” objects in the collections. There will be approximately 50 objects in the exhibit—selections that illustrate the range and variety of what art can be, as well as what we are saving and conserving for future generations of Yakima Valley residents.

Watch for updates on how this exhibit is coming together, and prepare for its opening next February.

This oil painting and charcoal study by Sarah Spurgeon (recent gifts from Jane Orleman) are just two of the hundreds of pieces being considered for a new exhibit in 2015.

Roger Patterson of Yakima (now deceased) is one of the most significant figures in the world of sasquatch/bigfoot research.

COLLECTIONS Through the Keyhole

David Childs’ Shoe Collection Becomes a Permanent Part of the Yakima Valley Museum

A stunning selection of 177 pairs of shoes and five perfectly matching handbags from the shoe collection of David Childs have been donated to the museum by the collector's estate. From February 2011 to the end of December 2012, The Yakima Valley Museum displayed over 600 pairs of high-heeled shoes, about half of his collection, in the exhibit Head Over Heels Over Heels: One Collector’s Love Affair with Shoes. David was very instrumental in developing the exhibit with Exhibit Curator, Andy Granitto. While his shoes were on display, David was at the museum almost every day. His excitement was shared with everyone as he gave exhibit tours to both small and large groups. David continued collecting more shoes

A Big Thank You to Our Summer Intern!This summer we had the pleasure of working with Katie Patterson, a senior attending Eisenhower High School, as a summer intern. After thinking about options for her future education and career goals, and inspired by her interest in history, Katie decided to use this summer as an opportunity to gain some knowledge and experience in museum work. What better way than to intern at her community’s museum?

Katie got to work in almost all of the departments at the museum. In the Collections Department, she assisted Mike Siebol in cataloging 60 of the 177 pairs of shoes recently donated from the David Childs Shoe Collection. She also learned about the duties of a museum collection manager, including principles of collecting, ethics, filing, proper handling of artifacts, environmental monitoring, creating drawer inventory cards, and museum database research methods.

In the Education Department, Katie worked with Jessica Knapp, assisting with the Summer Camp with Sasquatch and Explore Central Washington programs. Katie was able to learn about the wide range of opportunities for educational programs at the museum while also experiencing what it takes to create those programs. Katie was a key part of planning, preparing, and presenting these successful summer programs.

In the Exhibits Department, Katie worked on interpretive labels for some of the museum's newest exhibit additions. Label-writing is a

unique skill, and Katie's inate writing ability combined with her love of history resulted in some excellent labels, which will soon be mounted and installed in the museum galleries.

The Yakima Valley Museum has had great success with our interns over the years. Some of the recent success stories include Kaili Lockbeam (Contractor, Smithsonian Institution), Melissa Beseda (Marketing and Communications Associate, MOHAI), Mickel Yantze (Museum Curator, Cherokee Heritage Center), Kristin ‘Stena’ James (PhD Researcher, University of Leicester), and Sadie Thayer (Director, Kittitas County Historical Museum).

throughout the duration of the exhibit and was often at the museum to check if any of his recent shoe purchases had arrived.

Working with Janine Childs, David’s niece and executor of his estate, the staff was able to choose a selection of some of his most prized heels. The sampling of David's vast collection range from a pair of 100-year-old Rosenthal’s button-up shoes to a pair of 2011 Ivanka Trump pumps. The collection, which is exclusively women's high-heeled shoes, represents the major fashion trends of the past 100 years and David’s own personal choices. During the past summer volunteers have photographed the collection, and over a third of them have been catalogued. The shoe boxes still have the Post-It Notes® that David Childs used to identify the era and significant style traits; he provided these notes to assist Andy in displaying his shoes. These same notes are now helping the Collections Department catalog each shoe.

Katie Patterson inventories and catalogs shoes from the David Childs Collection.

Journeys with JohnTravel with the Museum

Down Under In Australia February 10–March 1, 2015The longest of the three proposed trips is the museum junket to the cities and places along the southeast corner of the Australian continent. This trip was fully outlined in the last museum newsletter. Now just three places remain for the adventure that includes relaxing visits to Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Hobart. Reserve your spot as soon as possible, even if you are still wavering!

Springtime in Richmond, Virginia May 2015Plan to immerse yourself in the Old South, where the Confederacy and the Civil War remain very much a part of popular culture. Having just spent a few days there this past summer, your tour leader John Baule scoped out the attractions and is sure that our group of travelers will have a wonderful week touring the Old South. We will visit the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (with its renowned collection of works by Carl Faberge), the Virginia Historical Society, the Museum of the Confederacy and the Civil War Tredegar Iron Works National Park, Monument Boulevard with its statuary honoring Confederate generals (and Arthur Ashe), the Valentine Museum (home of regional history), and more. We will also have an opportunity to travel west to see Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, and the beautifully restored Montpelier, home of James Monroe. Plans are to stay at the lavishly elegant 1890s Jefferson Hotel.

If this interests you, please let John know immediately. Once there is sufficient interest, he will make the hotel reservations, provide exact dates, and calculate the cost.

Sydney Harbor and Opera House

Check your calendars, pull out the suitcases, and make sure your passports are up to date. There are three very different trips planned for 2015.

ITALY!October 17-28, 2015

This last trip is an experiment, as we have generally formed our own groups. However, we were recently contacted by Collette Vacations, which has arranged a number of small group (12-18) higher end experiences for those of us not wild about large mass-market tours. With the increasing costs of private travel, the price point is more affordable at $5,449 per person, double occupancy for all hotel accommodations, land transportation, 17 meals, guide service, round-trip air transportation from Seattle, and John Baule as your team escort. Over time, there will be the potential to partner with Collette on private trips only for us.

The adventure I chose is to Northern Italy, with a minimum of two-night stays in each hotel. We will visit Stressa on the shore of Lago Maggiore, the Italian Riviera, Portofino, Cinque Terre, Lucca, Florence, Siena, and Venice, with the option to extend the trip and stay in Rome. Finally, with at least 12 people, there is a possibility this could be a private tour. So, if Italy is on your list of places to go, this would be a great way to get a taste of the Old Country.

If you are interested in any of these three junkets, please let me know as soon as you are able to do so. Drop me a note (2105 Tieton Drive, Yakima 98902), call (509-248-0747), or email [email protected]. Deposits may be made payable to the Yakima Valley Museum.

Quilt Raffle TimeIt is raffle quilt time again! Every year since 1978, museum volunteers have offered a wonderful quilt for an annual raffle, and tickets go on sale beginning on opening day of the Central Washington State Fair in September. This year we will not be able to attend the fair, but tickets will be sold at the museum and at the Yakima Farmers Market!

Sunset over Sedona is the name of this year’s raffle quilt. The pattern is a Laurie Shifrin design with beautiful fall colors. The quilt was pieced by Barbara Whitcher and quilted by Dennis Whitcher. This quilt is certain to become a family heirloom, and it could be yours for the price of a raffle ticket. The drawing will be held on Saturday, December 6, 2014.

The Quilt Raffle helps provide the museum with necessary operating funds. The Yakima Valley Museum is grateful for your generous support.

The Goal Has Been Achieved! When the National Endowment for the Humanities offered the Yakima Valley Museum $500,000 for its endowment fund in late December 2010, we were elated. Very few museums each year are given this opportunity; when they are, it is usually at much lower levels. The application is extensive and difficult, and the competition is fierce. And, from my experience reviewing applications from other museums, I know the discussions by the peer reviewers and NEH staff are thoughtful and thorough.

Thus, the announcement of the NEH offer made us proud of what our community has accomplished with this museum since its founding in 1951. But then reality reared its ugly head—to actually have that $500,000 in our possession, we would need to raise a 3:1 match of $1,500,000 locally. Our excitement was tempered, but we remained determined. Museum donors had built this museum and continue to generously support its operations and activities. We could do this.

And we did. On the morning of September 10, 2014, the museum received official notification that the match had been met well within the required timeline. Now we are pleased to announce that, when all the pledges are fulfilled, the Yakima Valley Museum Endowment principal will grow by $2,000,000. This is a huge step toward our long-term goal of an endowment that will totally underwrite the overhead expense of the building and core staff, eventually allowing 100% of annual support to be directed towards exhibits, programs, and education.

We owe this to all of you who made wonderful gifts to this campaign. Just saying “thank you” seems inadequate, but no other words can better express the sincerity of our gratitude.

–John A. Baule, Director
