Join the Selway-Bitterroot Foundation at the Downtown Dance Collective for our 7th Annual Winter Gathering and Fundraiser. Bid on great items in one of the best wilderness-oriented silent auctions around while filling yourself up on wine, beer and hors d'ouvres. Don't forget to pick up some raffle tickets or tickets to the Telluride Mountain Film Festival while enjoying live music.

Our keynote speakers will be Debbie Lee and Dennis Baird, who will present "Reflections on Wilderness," with excerpts from Lee's forthcoming book on the Selway-Bitterroot and Baird's latest research on Gifford Pinchot's travels in the Selway country. Lee is an English professor at Washington State University and project leader for the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness History Project. Baird is professor emeritus University of Idaho Library and founder of the library's Wilderness Archive.

This event is free and open to the public.
