SUMMARY:Bellman Brown Bag Series
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this month’s free Bellman Brown Bag Series on Wednesday\, January 10 at noon in the Matthews Theater as Paul Higbee presents a fascinating discussion about the 1943 Spearfish Chinook wind. \nThe temperature leaped 49 degrees in two minutes\, shattering windows throughout town and setting a world record that still stands.  Though mostly associated with Spearfish\, the chinook affected other towns\, too\, and was well-documented by the U.S Weather Service and Montana-Dakota Utilities.\nAbout Paul Higbee…\nPaul Higbee has been South Dakota Magazine’s West River contributing editor and columnist since 1991\, and is the author of books published by the South Dakota State Historical Society and the Center for Western Studies. \nAbout the Bellman Brown Bag Series…\nThe Bellman Brown Bag series is a humanities program designed to explore ideas\, history\, literature\, art and culture. The Brown Bag program was developed by Dr. Stewart Bellman in the 1990’s. Recognizing the Matthews Opera House as an ideal venue for the exploration of humanities topics\, he engaged a line-up of speakers to present programs on a range of humanities topics each month. \nDr. Bellman was a professor of English at Black Hills State University\, Spearfish\, SD. His teaching career spanned thirty years. Bellman retired from BHSU and passed away in November 2002. \nPrograms are presented on the second Wednesday of each month\, noon to 1pm. Designed to begin and end within the lunch hour\, patrons are invited to bring their lunch\, if desired\, or simply enjoy an hour of learning and entertainment.  This is an opportunity to gain insight into themes that touch our daily lives. \n \nCoffee for the Bellman Brown Bag Series is generously provided by Common Grounds in Spearfish\, SD. \n
