SUMMARY:Match Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Dear Friends\,\nMatch Day is almost upon us. A very busy 2022 is bringing us to that day again\, the day on which our donors’ generosity defines what we can offer in the coming year. \nBig things happened this year at Pioneer Bluffs. More people visited than ever before and we had more programs than ever before. Music of all kinds filled the air around Matfield Green; people working in their gardens enjoyed concerts without leaving home (although we think it was more fun at PB\, sitting in the shade and seeing the orchestra). Our website is chock full of videos of Prairie Talks\, vintage film clips of ranch life\, a showcase of Kansas ranches\, virtual tours of the grounds and trail. Check it out at pioneerbluffs.org. \nThe Nature Trail is open for exploration during daylight hours and is used almost every day. Plus\, we are in the process of building a log cabin which will be our new information center. \nAll of these things are possible only because of you\, our donors\, and volunteers. With hours of work generously given\, our volunteers multiply the power of your gift by stretching every dollar. Your Match Day gift to Pioneer Bluffs\, in any amount small or large\, is pooled together and makes the big things happen. \nThe Emporia Community Foundation provides the pool of matching funds which is shared with selected organizations on Match Day. This year Pioneer Bluffs will be one of 28 that were selected. The more we raise\, the greater the match. \nOur success is only possible because of your support. All of us at Pioneer Bluffs appreciate your participation in Match Day!\nTo make a Match Day contribution\, choose one of these options: \n\nMake your check payable to: Emporia Community Foundation and send to Pioneer Bluffs | 695 KS Hwy 177 | Matfield Green\, KS  66862. We must receive your gift before November 14.\nGo online any time on Monday\, November 14\, and make your contribution at emporiamatchday.com/pioneerbluffs.\nVisit Pioneer Bluffs on November 14\, tour to see what’s been happening\, and bring your check. Executive Director Lynn Smith and volunteers will be there from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on November 14.\nDrive through at the Emporia Community Foundation | 527 Commercial St | Emporia\, KS  66801\, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. November 14.\n\nThank you – come see us. \nNancy Mattke\, Board President             Lynn Smith\, Executive Director

SUMMARY:Prairie Talk: "Cowboyin' is women's work"
DESCRIPTION:Bobbie Hammond has managed as many as 25\,000 acres of Flint Hills grass and 8\,000 head of cattle. At the same time\, she was a professional rodeo barrel racer. She won in the Old Timers’ Rodeo National Finals when she was a grandmother – and that was 40 years ago. Hammond will share her unique life story in an upcoming Prairie Talk. \nThe Prairie Talk will be at 2:00 p.m. Saturday\, October 8\, at Pioneer Bluffs. \n“I always thought cowboyin’ is women’s work\,” said Hammond. “It never occurred to me there was anything I couldn’t do because I was a woman. I was working with my dad from the time I was big enough to ride.” \n“I know it isn’t the kind of work every woman would want to do. Probably not every man can do it\,” she continues. “It’s a lot of hard work. I do everything from breaking colts to fixing water gaps to treating sick steers. It’s knowing what an old steer will do before he even thinks of it himself.” \nHammond has been featured in “Larry Hatteberg’s KANSAS PEOPLE\,” and Forbes Magazine. \nToday at age 83\, Hammond is still working. “I don’t let a lot of grass grow under my feet\,” she says. “It is a lifestyle\, I think.” \nThere is no cost to attend this Prairie Talk; donations are gratefully accepted. Reservations requested\, but not required\, and will help ensure ample seating is available. For reservations or additional information\, contact Lynn Smith at lynn@pioneerbluffs.org or (620) 753-3484.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Workday
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers are happy people. Does volunteering make them happy\, or are happy people more likely to volunteer? According to studies\, the answer is both! \nVolunteers gather every month at Pioneer Bluffs and enjoy sharing a few hours of time. They chat\, laugh\, and get to know one another while making a difference. \nThe next Volunteer Workday at Pioneer Bluffs is Saturday\, December 4. The day begins around 8:30 a.m. with a conversation about the day’s plans. At about 9:00 a.m.\, volunteers split into teams and go to work. The day ends close to noon with a lunch and more conversation about what was accomplished. \nAll are invited to the December 4 Workday\, whether to join in the fun or simply to meet and ask questions of the volunteers. \nVolunteer tasks vary from physical to nonphysical\, skilled and unskilled. To be a Pioneer Bluffs volunteer\, it takes only a big heart and an interest in preserving and maintaining an important historic site. Those interested can simply show up\, no RSVP needed. \nThe plan for December 4 includes cleaning in the buildings\, trimming hedges\, doing an inventory\, and picking up sticks. In addition\, the original grain chute will be installed in the granary\, which involves several hands holding it up while it is secured in place. \nDetails of the day’s plans can be found on the Pioneer Bluffs Facebook event page. For information\, contact Lynn Smith\, Executive Director\, at lynn@pioneerbluffs.org or 620-753-3484 (office) or 785-393-1569 (cell).

SUMMARY:Peace on the Prairie
DESCRIPTION:It is said:  Music is the sound of art. Both music and visual art are merged in “Peace on the Prairie\,” a collaboration by singer-songwriter\, Annie Wilson\, and artist\, Susan Rose. \nAt 2:00 p.m. Saturday\, October 16\, Pioneer Bluffs presents “Peace on the Prairie\,” featuring an art exhibit by Susan Rose\, a conversation with Rose and Wilson\, a concert by Wilson – also known as the Flint Hills Balladeer – and her Tallgrass Express String Band\, a music-and-art video by Dave Kendall\, and an informal reception. \nThis event is also Tallgrass Express’s CD Release Concert\, with all ten songs from their new album Peace on the Prairie\, volume 4 in their Songs of the Flint Hills series. \nThe art exhibit and video will be in the 1915 barn at Pioneer Bluffs. Weather permitting\, all other activities will be outdoors. The program concludes at 5:00 p.m. \n“As Susan completed each of her 12 paintings illustrating my song lyrics\, I was in awe at how she created these beautiful scenes I was trying to convey in the words of my song\,” said Wilson.  “It is one of the greatest honors of my life that Susan chose to do this project.” \nIn describing her work\, Rose says\, “My paintings are inspired by the beauty of the prairie\, the sky and the creatures that call it home.  I am particularly drawn to capture the play of light and shadow on the local landscape\, and focus on the small\, but beautiful\, elements in nature that are easily overlooked or taken for granted.” \nBeverages and snacks will be served during the reception. To ensure sufficient snacks are available\, and plenty of chairs are out\, reservations are requested but not required. RSVP on the Facebook event page or to Executive Director\, Lynn Smith\, at lynn@pioneerbluffs.org or 620-753-3484. \nDonations are appreciated and will support future program events. \nMasks are required inside the barn\, one of the Covid precautionary measures taken for public safety.

SUMMARY:Women of the Ranch
DESCRIPTION:Farm and ranch women typically play many roles. They are some combination of daughter\, wife\, mother\, business partner\, driver\, drover\, and cowhand all rolled into one. And a woman who began filling these roles in the first part of the 20th century has witnessed extraordinary change. It is likely that she has hauled water to bathe her children\, cooked over a wood stove\, and spent time behind a team of horses. \nAt 2:00 p.m. Saturday\, September 18\, Mark Feiden and Farrell Hoy will share highlights from interviews with farm/ranch women. A panel discussion with some of the interviewees will follow the film screening. This Prairie Talk will be held in the loft of the historic barn at Pioneer Bluffs near Matfield Green. \nCovid precautionary measures will be taken\, including limiting the size of the audience to 75. Reservations for this Talk are required\, and accepted first-come. Masks will be required inside the barn. \nPioneer Bluffs has teamed with photographer/filmmaker Mark Feiden\, author/educator Farrell Hoy\, and Humanities Kansas\, in this story collection project focused on the contributions of women to Flint Hills farming and ranching. \n“When I began interviewing older farm and ranch folk in 2017\, I quickly discovered something that should not have been a surprise\,” said Feiden. “Women often have the richer body of stories—because they’ve worn so dang many hats!” \n“When I finished interviewing 99 year old best friends Evelyn Zeckser and Mary Schultz\, in 2019\, I knew that I wanted to pull together an effort focused on older women—and I wanted to do it sooner rather than later\,” continued Feiden. “I also knew that Farrell Hoy had an ongoing interest in documenting the lives of ranch women and so I approached her about teaming up. The experience has exceeded my expectations. Each and every interview has been a delight. I look forward to sharing the films—and seeing how the transcripts inform Farrell’s book project.” \nInterviews include: Eula Barrett\, Bobby Hammond\, and Donita Rogers of Chase County; Irlene Huntington\, Jackie Seeley\, and Pat Surber of Greenwood County; Irene Thoes of Pottawatomie County; and Carol Feyh and Carol Michaelis of Wabaunsee County. \nThis is a free community event\, funded by Humanities Kansas. Reservations should be made to Executive Director\, Lynn Smith\, at lynn@pioneerbluffs.org or 620-753-3484. \nTo make this important project accessible to all\, the interviews and a recording of the Prairie Talk will be available later on pioneerbluffs.org. A second screening of the film will be scheduled for spring\, 2022\, in Wabaunsee County. \nThose with reservations are invited to come early and explore the grounds\, bring a picnic\, or hike the new nature trail. \nMark Feiden\, through his ongoing project Emil Redmon’s Cow (www.redmonscow.org) is dedicated to building a significant archive of “stories from the farm and ranch.” Mark is a sixth-generation Kansan with pioneer roots in Reno and Wabaunsee countries. In 1998\, he co-founded The Konza Press (www.TheKonzaPress.com) with the express mission of “promoting the people\, places and rich history of Kansas.”  A photographer\, he has published a number of books on Kansas and the Flint Hills. Mark makes his home in Roeland Park\, Kansas. \nFarrell Hoy is a fifth-generation descendant of the Flying H Ranch\, established by her great-great grandparents in Cassoday\, Kansas\, in 1877. She grew up helping her grandparents on the ranch\, and from an early age noticed the many different tasks that fell to her grandmother\, from performing nearly all the domestic duties to working alongside the men on much of the ranch work.  Hoy is Faculty Development Director at Johnson County Community College. She is currently working on a book about Flint Hills women; she lives and works in Overland Park\, Kansas.

SUMMARY:A concise history of the Santa Fe Trail
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in 1821\, the Santa Fe Trail was actively in use for almost 60 years. How could a relatively short-lived highway of commerce have a legacy lasting two hundred years? A Prairie Talk will explore this subject. \nAt 1:30 p.m. Saturday\, August 21\, Steve Schmidt\, of Hesston\, will present “Santa Fe Trail 101” in the loft of the historic barn at Pioneer Bluffs. \nThis concise history will explore how the Santa Fe Trail played a key role in international events\, influenced the global economy\, how it differed greatly from the Oregon and California Trails\, and what caused it to die out. \nThis program has been succinctly described as “a broad-brush overview of the Santa Fe Trail: when\, where\, what\, why\, how\, now (but no brown cow).” \nSchmidt\, an amateur historian\, knows Santa Fe Trail history. He and his wife\, Glenda\, are preserving a piece of the Trail on land they own in Marion County\, which is on the National Register of Historic Places and has received Historic Site Certification from the National Park Service. As a member of the Santa Fe Trail Association\, Cottonwood Crossing Chapter\, he has earned numerous awards for promotion and preservation of the Trail over the past 20 years. Schmidt has written a booklet\, “Lost Spring\, Marion County\, Kansas\, A Historical Perspective” which is available free at SantaFeTrail.org. \nTo ensure ample chairs are out for this presentation\, reservations are requested but not required. RSVP on the Facebook event page or to Executive Director\, Lynn Smith\, at lynn@pioneerbluffs.org or 620-753-3484. \nDonations are appreciated and will support future program events. \nVisitors are invited to come early and explore the grounds\, bring a picnic\, or hike the new nature trail. Wading shoes may be recommended to access the nature trail\, depending on recent rains.
