Travelogue Series Opens with “Majestic Montana”

On Sept. 28, the Northern Door Kiwanis and Rotary Service Clubs chapters, will host their first joint travel and adventure film presentation of the season with a Travelogue journey to the big sky country of Majestic Montana.

Long-time Travelogue coordinator, and a member of the Kiwanis Club, Gary Chaudoir, explains, “Earlier this year, the two service clubs decided to join forces. We believe our new alliance is a ‘win-win’ for our travel film patrons, our advertisers and our two clubs.”

Presented live by award-winning film producer, Steve Gonser, Majestic Montana explores the state’s 147,000 square miles. Fewer than one million people live in Montana; cattle outnumber people three to one. Within its boundaries are two national parks, ten national forests, seven Native American reservations, 40 state parks, nearly a dozen wilderness areas, more than fifteen national wildlife refuges, dozens of state-owned wildlife management areas, national monuments and historic sites.

The film explores the majestic qualities that make Montana a special place. Gonser, a Paleontologist and Social Anthropologist, explains why Montana is often referred to as dinosaur country. Other topics of interest include ranching, Native American culture, the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the Spokane Bar Sapphire Mine, and Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks.

The screening is set for 7:30 pm at First Baptist Church in Sister Bay. Tickets are $7 or $36 for a season pass (for all six shows in the travel film series); children 18 years old and younger are free.
