Wednesday, February 17 - Josephine Doody, Bootleg Lady of Glacier Park AMC Volunteer, Sha Riordan, is a Massachusetts-based Theatre Arts Educator who specializes in writing and performing one-woman plays based on the lives of extraordinary ordinary women who pioneered our country's mountain wilderness. Riordan will take us to the Montana frontier as she presents the true story of Josephine Doody. As a young girl in 1870, Josephine came west in a wagon train to Colorado where she was a dance hall performer and a "working girl". One night she shot an abusive customer and to escape hanging, fled in a box car to Montana and the Marias Pass. There she met mountain man, Dan Doody, who kidnapped her, cured her of an opium addiction, and made her his wife. Josephine fell in love with the rugged pioneer life, and together with Dan, worked their homestead on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River, hunted grizzly bear and mountain lions with their Airedale dogs, and peddled Josephine's legendary moonshine to other hardy Glacier settlers. Thursday, February 18 - Family Dance with Redwing Lucy Gatchell and Dexter Harding will be teaching the sort of simple dancing and singing games that people have been passing along for centuries. Contra dances, circle dances, square dances, we'll do some of everything. For hundreds of years contra dancing has been a New England tradition. The family dance is geared for a combination of ages and generations all swirled in together. Today, although we have many other entertainment choices, growing numbers of people find this kind of dancing is still one of the best ways to spend an evening with friends new and old. Friday, February 19 - Dr. Quackenbush Skis the Headwall A silent comedy set to a vintage musical score, filmed in 1942 by Sidney Shurcliff and re-released by the New England Ski Museum. The film features Dr. Quackenbush (John Marshall), an African explorer (with a way too big moustache) as he travels to ski the Eastern slopes of New Hampshire's White Mountains. Follow Dr. Quackenbush as he learns to ski, invents a useless pair of safety bindings, sneeks into a race down Cranmore and finally attempts the headwall of Tuckerman Ravine.
