In Durham, Oklahoma
Metcalfe Musings

Fall has arrived at the Metcalfe. The
prairie grasses are pink and tan, the re-
mains of golden leaves are on the trees
or blowing in the breeze, and a herd of 19
turkeys is on weekly patrol in the Metcalfe
front yard. This appears to be the same
herd that regularly appeared in the park-
ing lot last fall and winter. So, these turkeys
will probably patrol the Metcalfe lawns un-
til early spring.
The Augusta Mgtcalfe Student Art
Competition opens next Friday, November
16. This year, nine organizations have en-
tered 126 visual art pieces. This is a con-
siderable increase from the 54 entries last
year, Increased student participationshows
there is a definite awareness and apprecia-
tion of the visual arts in western Oklahoma.
Entrants include public and homeschool
students from Hammon, Elk City, Fargo,
Arnett, Cheyenne, Sayre, Sweetwater, and
Reydon.
The student art will be judged by Gary
I .eddy, a contemporary Roger Mills artist,
Leddy led two drawing courses at the 2007
Metcalfe Summer Youth Art Camp. He has
a Bachelor of Arts degree from Southwest-
ern Oklahoma State University in Weath-
erford. Leddy has also studied art abroad.
The Metcalfe Museum will award
twelve hundred dollars to area students
in six different media: black and white
drawing, colored drawing, painting, mixed
mediS, photography and miscellaneous.
Each medium is then subdivided into two
categories: Pioneer Life or Local Flora and
Fauna. All entries are then divided into two
different age groups: 5th-7th grade and
8th-12th grade.
The award monies come from regional
businesses and individuals who support vi-
sual arts and youth art education. Some of
the community support came from Danny
and Pat Sprowls, Drs. Frank and Becky
Buster, Roger Mills Kiwanis Club, Dobson
Telephone Company and Janna Montgom-
ery.

Additional financial support that indi-
rectly benefits the student art competition
came from the Oklahoma Arts Council and
the National Endowment for the Arts. This
government support enabled the Metcalfe
to provide an arts education workshop
for instructors in October. The workshop
was developed and organized at the Met-
calfe Museum and held at Cheyenne High
School.

Calendar Project
The first phase of our Calendar
Project came to an end last Wednes-
day, October 31st, with the end of the
Photo Contest. All of us here at the
museum want to congratulate the
following for all being winners of our
Photo Contest: Grace Isaacs, Caro-
lyn Sparks Welch, Morse Burroughs,
Donna Derick, Lacy Derick, Malie
Shrader, and Ronnie Gilbert. In all, we
had 22 different photographers enter
pictures for a total of 79 photo entries.
Since we allowed photographers to
enter more than one photograph, we
had several photographers who had
more than one photo voted into the top
twelve. We were pleased to see that so
many in the community participated
in this project by visiting the museum
and voting for their favorite photo-
graph. Two hundred seventy-one bal-
lots were cast since September 14th
when the contest began. Currently,
the calendar is being set-up with all
the birthday and anniversary date en-
tries, 333 total dates received, and the
12 favorite pictures are being scanned.
Hopefully, this stage of the project will
be completed this week and the calen-
dar set-up will be taken to print early
next week. We f re thrilled that we al-
ready have 97 calendar orders. Keep in
mind that these 2008 Community Cal-
endars would make wonderful Christ-
mas gifts for anyone. Since the color
pictures featured in the calendar are
pictures of the Hemphill County area,
these calendars would make great
gifts for college students, friends and
relatives, or for those whose hearts
remain in Canadian even though
they may live elsewhere. You ean still
pre-order your calendars by calling
the museum today at 323-6548 or by
e-mailing order requests to rvmuse-
um@cebridge,net. Once the calendars
are printed, you may purchase themat
the museum for $15 while they last.
