January History Dinner
Thursday Jan., 26
Biographer & author Lee Rostad will kick off the Club's popular current affairs/dinner program series for 2012 on Thursday, January 26th. Drawing stories from her most recent book, "The House of Bair: Sheep, Cadillacs and Chippendale", Mrs. Rostad will recount her life-long friendship with sisters Alberta & Marguerite Bair of Martinsdale.
"Lively Times" writes: "Rostad]tells the story of one of Montana's most remarkable families ...detailing Charlie Bair's astonishing financial success in ranching, mining, oil and real estate that enabled the family to build a dynasty in the small ranching community of Martinsdale. She also reminisces with deep affection about the two sisters. When Alberta, the last of the family, died in 1993, the state lost a vibrant woman who embodied so much Montana history...Gone was this dynamic character with her red hats, her vodkas, her mink coat, her 13 beaus, her white Cadillac. The sisters also left their home as a museum to the people of Montana a seemingly simple request that ultimately divided friends, sparked lawsuits and made national headlines. Rostad details the community?s fight to save the ranch museum and uphold the wishes of these beloved and colorful figures in Montana's history."
Copies of the book may be purchased & signed at the dinner.
The event will begin at 5:30 P.M. and will feature a pre fixe dish created by Chef Marc. The cost of attendance will be $25 per person.
