Fishtrap's Fall Arts & Lecture Program
This October, meet three women who dared to be different. From a mother’s courageous journey in a rural Nepalese village, to the school mistress who dramatically influenced the The King and I, to the rip-roarin’ western legend of Calamity Jane, discover stories of dynamic and intrepid women during Fishtrap’s Fall Arts & Lecture Series.
Fishtrap continues its 27-year tradition of bringing interesting people and thought-provoking events to Wallowa County. The public is invited to three lectures all with Oregon authors who have explored legendary characters and while doing that, looked inwards toward themselves. “They’re all great stories,” says Fishtrap Program Manager Mike Midlo. “We think people will enjoy learning about these adventuresome women and learn how they remade themselves.”
Fishtrap’s Fall Arts & Lecture series begins at 7pm on Thursday, October 2nd at the Josephy Center, with a book release party for Wallowa County author Elizabeth Enslin, whose book, While the Gods Were Sleeping: A Journey through Love and Rebellion in Nepal, is an intimate and compelling story of the challenges of marriage, pregnancy, and child-rearing in a foreign land.A book signing and party will follow Enslin’s presentation, with live music, drinks, and Nepali-inspired snacks. The event is free and open to the public. The series continues with weekly events throughout the month.
