The Ketchum Collection Premier
Saturday, May 25, 10:30am

Join us for the
premier of the Ketchum Collection, an extensive video archive of local footage from the 1950’s to 2012 compiled by videographer Bob Ketchum.  Ketchum will introduce the collection and share a sampling of the footage it contains.  The collection includes Mountain Home and Montessori School graduation ceremonies, local TV Station Channel 43 archives, and episodes of “Inside Focus”, a local show from the 1980’s and 90’s featuring interviews with a variety of Baxter County citizens.  The collection also includes many local business’s TV commercials and promotional videos, Baxter Health Care Corporation training videos, footage of “The Last Dance”, concerts by local musicians, tours of the Old College House, Baxter County history as far back as 1953, and more.
