Since this special event is set for Farris' at the Heritage, Saturday, May 12, we need to know whether you're coming by noon on Thursday, May 10. Just stop by the Maturango Museum to get your reservations.
Reservations are necessary so the restaurant can prepare the correct amount of food.
Thanks to the good ideas and proactivity of our program chairman George Silberberg, we have a very special banquet speaker - Bill Deaver, editor of the Southeast Kern Weekender, one of our area's most informative regional newspapers. Deaver has worked with BLM archaeologist Margaret Hangan, Red Rock Canyon Ranger Mark Faull, and others to trace the routes of some of the historic railroads of the Eastern Mojave Desert. Deaver has been sharing his knowledge of the railroads with the readers of his paper, and now here's our chance to learn from him face to face. If you've ever read the Southeast Kern Weekender, you may feel you know Deaver already. He seems to be everywhere in Southeast Kern, both making and reporting on the news.
