The Park County Historical Society is hosting its first Dinner and History Presentation for 2012 on Saturday, January 14th from 5:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. (maybe a little longer) at the Platte Canyon Community Center in Shawnee. This $5.00 dinner will consist again of sloppy joes, side dishes (potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans, chips), hot chocolate, coffee and dessert. We will have water for $ .25 and sodas for $ .50.
There will be a music presentation by well known Rex Rideout. Rex has performed music of the 1800's American west at numerous historic sites and museums. He plays the mandolin, fiddle, banjo and tin whistle along with re-enacting living history. He has been featured on TV, radio and in history magazines. Rex performed with Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig as a fiddler in the movie "Cowboys and Aliens". One example of his music, "A Voyage of Such Nature", along with fellow musicians was featured at the 200th anniversary of the Pike Expedition in Pueblo at their living history museum. The New Mexico Centennial Project 2012 has hired Rex to perform cowboy ballads in a concert/program setting.
