“Why do we fish?” Rich Hohne focuses on what may be the ultimate existential question for Bozeman at September’s PechaKucha Night. An avid fisherman, and former senior director of marketing and brand management for Simms, Rich brings some real cred to the task. He joins nine other presenters at Downtown Bozeman’s Ellen Theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 13th and 14th at 6:40pm each night.
Presenters include Jeff Keller, who has developed a collection of 460 colors based on plants and flowers, soils, rocks and fall foliage, and Willie Eide, who grew up as the ears and voice of his deaf parents before the advent of captioning and texting.
Also presenting are singer, songwriter and storyteller Russ Chapman who will present his second PK completely in song and Julia Yanker, who will help us learn how to overcome trauma that prevents us from enjoying outdoor activities and sports we used to love.
It might be “too much information” for some, but Darla Goeres, a research professor at MSU’s Standardized Biofilms Methods Laboratory, will share why understanding and controlling biofilm is so important to making that tasty craft beer we enjoy after a day of fishing.
Teri Davis will share with audiences how saving a baby fawn that had been attacked by a local dog changed her family’s life for the better, State Senator JP Pomnichowski will provide insight on the Montana Constitution, and Kirsa Shelky of Trout Unlimited will describe the threat decreased streamflow poses to trout and the environment.
Cara Wilder, actor, teacher and Director of Marketing and Operations at the Warren Miller Performing Arts Center will serve as emcee. The event is sponsored by American Bank. Tickets are available at www.theellentheatre.com. for $9 (including facility fee). Students may purchase tickets at the door for $5.50.
PechaKucha (peh-chak-cha) offers anyone with a passion or a vision – designers, artists, inventors, architects, adventurers, entrepreneurs – an opportunity to share their ideas with the community during a fast-paced, friendly social get-together. There’s just one catch: presenters have only 20 slides x 20 seconds each, a total of 6 minutes, 40 seconds! •
