Exhibit opens TODAY!


Well, in just a couple short hours I am off to check out an exhibit that I've been anticipating for YEARS! It will be amazing to see some of the things that actually touched the life of my favourite literary artist.

As I head off to see 'Faithfully Yours', I can't help but think about the wonderful staff + board at Chiefswood who have worked SO hard to make this exhibit happen. Not to mention the Woodland Cultural Centre, Curator Emeritus Tom Hill, Dr. Carole Gerson, Dr. Trudy Nicks, and many more amazing contributors that have helped make this happen. I am sure all of these people are full of anticipation and excitement today as the exhibit launches, and with good reason.

Well with that being said, here are a few more images from the Chiefswood Collection to peak your interest, as taken from the exhibit media kit:
