SOHS and the Ashland Center for Creative Change invite you to participate in a Community Forum on Bicycling in Jackson County! What is changing about bicycling today? What's driving these changes? Are any of these changes unique to Jackson County?

Bicycling in Jackson County Community Forum
Where: Ashland Library, Guanajuato Room, 410 Siskiyou Blvd., Ashland, OR 97520
When: Wednesday, January 18, 2012, from 7 pm until 9 pm

The results of this discussion will form the basis of a community exhibit focused on bicycling in Jackson County! History: Made by You is a program developed by SOHS designed to involve the community in traveling exhibits. Come be part of the fun while sharing your insights and exchanging ideas.  

This stimulating workshop will begin with an engaging discussion of current concerns to identify relevant exhibit topics. Experienced exhibit planner, Alice Parman, will lead the group through the process of discovering the history behind the issues and identifying community resources that can help develop a meaningful exhibit.

Anyone with an interest in the past and present of bicycling in Jackson County is welcome to attend!

This program was made possible in part by a grant from Oregon Humanities (OH), a statewide nonprofit organization and an independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, which funds OH’s grant program.

For more information on the exhibit, or if you would like to request that a public forum/traveling exhibit come to your community, please contact Amy Drake at amy@sohs.org or (541) 773-6536 ext. 1006.
