SUMMARY:"Journey Through Yellowstone" PRESENTATION
DESCRIPTION:The group after they finished the 14-day journey!\nJohn Williams & Clay Dykstra have a story to tell.  Join us for their free presentation in the theater.  It will blow your mind. \nThirty years ago\, renowned wildlife photographer Tom Murphy embarked upon the expedition of a lifetime – he skied across Yellowstone National Park\, in the dead of winter\, by himself with only a blue tarp as a shelter. A life-defining trip that has yet to be repeated. \nAt the age of 66\, Tom headed back across Yellowstone’s frozen landscape\, this time with a film crew to document the journey — and Spearfish residents\, Clay Dykstra and John Williams. The expedition once again took him across the most remote and inaccessible parts of the park. He was pushed to the brink of his endurance and the trip tested his years of backcountry experience. \nThis film — coming in 2017 — will document this journey across the park as well as explore Tom’s life as a photographer\, his philosophy about nature\, wilderness\, and his love for the striking beauty and power of Yellowstone’s most unforgiving season – winter. \n\nSEE MORE about this exciting project!

SUMMARY:MOVIE NIGHT: "The Maltese Falcon" (1941)
DESCRIPTION:Image courtesy mptvimages.com\nAdmission by donation. Popcorn and cash bar will be available before the show. \nDo you know that this is the 75th anniversary of the release of “The Maltese Falcon?”  Originally released in 1941\, it starred Humphrey Bogart and Mary Astor\, and was directed by John Huston.  \nPLOT“Spade and Archer” is the name of a San Francisco detective agency. That’s for Sam Spade and Miles Archer. The two men are partners\, but Sam doesn’t like Miles much. A knockout\, who goes by the name of Miss Wonderly\, walks into their office; and by that night\, everything’s changed. Miles is dead. And so is a man named Floyd Thursby. It seems Miss Wonderly is surrounded by dangerous men. \nThere’s Joel Cairo\, who uses gardenia-scented calling cards. There’s Kasper Gutman\, with his enormous girth and feigned civility. Her only hope of protection comes from Sam\, who is suspected by the police of one or the other murder. More murders are yet to come\, and it will all be because of these dangerous men — and their lust for a statuette of a bird: the Maltese Falcon. \nWritten by J. Spurlin from IMDB.com \n  \n  \nThe Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.  \n
