This educational series showcases actors dressed up as historic figures from Wenatchee Valley history. This year, we celebrate 100 years of women’s suffrage by highlighting formative women in our community.

Elsie Parrish: tenacious chambermaid who sued the owners of the Cascadian Hotel over unpaid wages. In 1913, she convinced the U.S. Supreme Court to establish a minimum wage for women. Join her in 1939 to hear her tale. (Elsie Parrish is portrayed by Amy Edwards.)

Dr. Minnie Simmons: Wenatchee’s first female doctor. Join her in 1945 to hear about her practice and how Wenatchee welcomed its first female healthcare provider. (Dr. Minnie Simmons is played by Kristy Clare.)

Eva Anderson: prominent local educator. She also served as Douglas County School Superintendent, President of the Washington Education Association, and Dean of Girls at Wenatchee High School. Join her in 1952 at a speech she prepared for a group in Chelan. (Eva Anderson is portrayed by Julie Kuntz.)

Bernice Bacharach: a feisty attorney. She was the first and for a long time, the only female member of the Chelan County Bar Association. Join her in 1988 to hear about her recent case. (Bernice Bacharach is portrayed by Katie Renggli.)

Made in Wenatchee - Gelato Tasting Event with Ice at Pybus Market
2021-01-27 10:00 - 11:00 | WA
Join the Wenatchee Valley Museum to taste and savor gelato from Ice Visconti at Pybus Public Market. This virtual gelato tasting will take place on January 27th at 6 PM.
The tasting includes three gelato flavors: Panna (Sweet Cream), Chocolate and Lemon Sorbetto.
ICE Visconti prepares authentic Italian style gelato daily on location. Gelato is a popular frozen dessert of Italian origin. Like ice cream, gelato is made from milk and served in a dish or cone. Because gelato is made with whole milk rather than heavy cream, kept at a higher temperature, mixed with less air, and cooked before freezing, you’ll enjoy a dessert that is lighter, smoother, fresher, lower in calories and more flavorful. Sorbetto is made with sweetened juice, fruit puree, or water, and is dairy and egg-free.
Register here: 61981.blackbaudhosting.com/61981/Made-in-Wenatchee—Gelato-Tasting.
Registration is $30 and each registrant will receive three – 8-ounce containers of gelato and the opportunity to participate in the live Zoom tasting. Simply bring your confirmation email and pick up your gelato from Ice Visconti’s location at Pybus Public Market at 3 North Worthen Street in Wenatchee on January 27th during their regular business hours.
You will also later receive an email with the Zoom code and instructions for joining the webinar.
A portion of the proceeds benefits the Wenatchee Valley Museum.

Courage in Corsets: Women's Suffrage in Washington
2021-01-19 11:00 - 12:00 | WA
In conjunction with our featured exhibit Raising our Voice: Empowering Women, we are partnering with Dangerous Women for a virtual discussion of the documentary Courage In Corsets on January 19 at 7 PM. The KSPS produced documentary Courage In Corsets tells the story of the women whose personal courage, political savvy and sheer tenacity won the vote for all women in Washington. It is the story of women of all races, creeds and economic status who struggled together to improve the quality of life for themselves and their communities; who convinced men of the benefits of women’s voting rights; and who brought new life to the national campaign.
Dangerous Women is a diverse collective of local female artists who bring forgotten or repressed histories of women to life on stage with a goal to empower all people.
Registration is by donation. After registering you will receive an email with a link to preview the film at your leisure and a confirmation email with a Zoom link to join us virtually for a Q&A Session with Dangerous Women on Tuesday, January 19 from 7 – 8 PM.
