WYOMING CATTLE DRIVE…
…The Brown family of Lovell, Wyoming drive their herd from summer to winter grazing lands. This story was shot using a Canon ZR60 camcorder, small Velbon tripod, and an old tape recorder mike I found in a drawer. I’d categorize this as a soft feature…more of a mood piece about a vanishing part of Americana.
A PASSION FOR BUILDING MODEL AIRPLANES…
…brings an Illinois engineer and a WWII P-38 pilot together.
Relay For Life…
…annual American Cancer Society fundraiser and cancer awareness event.
Murphys Heritage Day 7.21.07…
…the event has graduated from a hosted luncheon to include a wide range of free activities open to the public. Community is very important in this Gold Rush town, a place where old-timers return year after year for friendship, family, and memories. Here’s a description from Murphys Website.
Each year the third weekend of July brings a welcomed reunion of past residents of Murphys and a highly anticipated old-fashioned community celebration. Formerly Murphys Homecoming, the event is now called Murphys Heritage Day. The Murphys homecoming tradition began in 1947 as the “Wingdam Event – Old Timer’s Luncheon,” bringing together a number of residents who had moved out of the area. The only two requirements for attendees that still remain today are: 1) they must have lived ten years or more in Murphys, and 2) they are 70 years of age or older.
