Dinner will be an Italian Buffet featuring either Italian crusted pork loin or vegetarian lasagna, salad, veggies, and cake for desert. Guest Speaker: We will have at least one guest speaker during dinner, Jim Herrell, Interim VP for Instruction, Otero Jr. College, will be discussing his role with "Not One More Acre" and their legal actions against the proposed expansion of Fort Carson. The title of Mr. Herrell’s talk, "Pinon Canyon in the Time of Insanity" alludes to his passionate belief that citizenship in the United States requires active participation in the governing of the citizens. He will describe the history and strategy of a small band of citizens’ efforts to hold at bay the Pentagon and military contractors as they attempt to eject generational ranch families off the last short grass prairie, while turning southern Colorado and northern New Mexico into the largest military training site in the United States. In addition, after Mr. Herrell’s talk, if his schedule permits we hope to also feature Colorado’s new State Archaeologist, Richard Wilshusen as a guest speaker. Plus there will be a surprise presentation at the end of the banquet! 2011 Fundraiser for CCPA Scholarship Funds: Book Sale!! It’s time to go through your bookshelves and divest yourself of duplicates, old editions, subject matter no longer of interest, and other dust catchers in order to support this year's annual meeting fundraiser! Cocktails and Artifacts at the
Koshare Museum, Saturday March 26th Located on the OJC campus, The Kiva, which is owned by Otero Jr. College, is unusual in that it was built by the La Junta Boy Scout troop under the inspired leadership of James Francis "Buck" Burshears. The original 1949 structure is a registered state historic site of the Colorado Historical Society, housing a collection of Native American art and artifacts considered to be among the finest in the world. Today the Koshare Indian Kiva not only houses an impressive museum, but a first class gift shop, and of course the Kiva itself which provides the center stage for the world-famous Koshare Indian Dancers. (Visit http://www.kosharehistory.org/ for more information about the Kiva). Finger foods, as well as beer and wine will be provided, and CCPA members will have an opportunity to examine the collections that the general public does not get to see. Field Trip to the Picket Wire
Canyon Lands, Sunday, March 27th The Picket Wire Canyon tour will visit one of the largest dinosaur track sites in North America, prehistoric rock art sites, a late 1890s Hispanic cemetery, and the Rourke Ranch National Historic District. Returning visitors may be particularly interested to see the recent renovations to Rourke Ranch and newly uncovered dinosaur tracks. Meet at the Comanche National Grassland office, 1420 East Third Street, La Junta and plan for a full day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Participants must stay with the tour group for the full duration of the tour and may not depart early.
