SUMMARY:SCAG Meeting - Carolyn Sowinski\, "Frozen on the Minnesota Prairie"
DESCRIPTION:Many genealogists have not considered how adverse weather conditions affected their ancestors and the communities in which they lived. How could a researcher find information regarding weather and its effects from decades ago? \nKandiyohi County native Carolyn Mankell Sowinski will share her experience in a book talk hosted by the St. Cloud Area Genealogists on Tuesday\, October 17\, 2023 at 7 p.m. at Stearns History Museum (235 33 rd Ave S.\, St. Cloud). In Sowinski’s sixth book\, The Great Storm: Minnesota’s Victims in the Blizzard of January 7\, 1873\, she identifies 84 people from 31 counties in the state who died in this three-day storm. These victims included men\, women and children; Civil War veterans and recent immigrants; homesteaders and villagers. Sowinski will read excerpts about the storm\, highlight historic documents about\nthe victims and share some of her approaches to genealogical research. \nThe presentation will also be available online and will be recorded for members of SCAG and registered guests. Books will be for sale at the event and can be purchased with cash or a check. \nThis event is free for SCAG members\, $7 for non-members. To register\, email kmsauer@ymail.com.

SUMMARY:Breakfast Club - Emily Sackett - "Let Us Keep Our Middle Ground Clear:" The Dakota and Ojibwe in Stearns County and Central Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:In 2022\, the Stearns History Museum was awarded a $10\,000 grant from the Minnesota Historical Society to delve into our own archives\, and those of other regional depositories\, and create a document that begins to tell the story of the Dakota and Ojibwe in what is now Stearns County. We hired Emily Sackett\, who spent nine months researching and building this document. On October 11th\, she will discuss her process\, as well as discoveries she made along the way. \nEmily Sackett is a PhD candidate studying early American History at the University of Virginia. She specializes in the history of women\, gender\, and race in colonial America. As writer and researcher\, her work has been recognized by institutions including the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture\, the Jefferson Scholars Foundation\, and Historic Jamestowne. From 2022-2023\, she served as a research specialist in Native American history for the Stearns County Historical Society.

SUMMARY:Breakfast Club: "Burma-Shave: The Rhymes\, the Signs\, the Times" with Bill Vossler
DESCRIPTION:Join us for another Breakfast Club at the Stearns County History Museum! This meeting will feature Bill Vossler\, author of “Burma-Shave: The Rhymes\, the Signs\, the Times”. \nLocal writer Bill Vossler tell the story of this unique Minnesota company\, which went from rags to riches thanks to its unique roadside advertising technique. Between 1925 and 1963\, these signs were seen all across the country. \nFor thirty years\, the series of six signs posted along roadways were an icon of American life. The little jingles that touted a brushless shaving cream entertained travelers across the country. Many of us who lived during those thirty years could recite favorite jingles by rote. Then super highways and the hectic pace of modern life made them obsolete. Still\, for those of us older than thirty-five\, Burma-Shave signs are part of our history and treasured childhood memories. \nWednesday\, June 14 @ 9am
