The grand opening and dedication of the Phippen Museum in October 1984 was an historic event with a barbeque, art auction, and a special branding ceremony attended by many local ranch families. The Museum hopes to re-create that memorable event on Saturday, September 8, 2007, when ranchers and their families will be honored at the 3rd Annual Fall Gathering: Barbeque and Branding at the Phippen Museum. Tickets are $20 each and may be purchased at the Museum.
The winner of the Bill Nebeker bronze was Donna Gadis. This year's raffle item is a signed and numbered stone lithograph entitled, Chores, by Robert 'Shoofly' Shufelt.
