The annual noon-hour Brown Bag Series is under way at the Finney County Historical Museum, with two free presentations still coming up for the public, as well as for members of the Finney County Historical Society.
Everyone is welcome to bring their own lunch, with beverages and dessert provided. Each Tuesday program runs about one hour, beginning at noon in the meeting room of the museum at 403 S. Fourth St.
Presentations still ahead include “The State Theater in the Round,” scheduled for next week and featuring developer Mark Pamplin; and “Meet the Director,” taking place Feb. 26, introducing Steve Quakenbush, who took charge Feb. 1 as executive director of the historical society.
The Brown Bag Series began Feb. 5 with a presentation by Johnetta Hebrlee, museum education coordinator, on the popular Kindle reader devices. It continued Feb. 12 with a presentation on the fracking process for natural gas extraction, given by Mark Rude, Southwest Kansas Groundwater Management District director.
