Yellowstone Vendor Fair & Quilt Display

A free Yellowstone vendor fair and quilt display takes place on June 6 and 7 in the Strand Union Building, Ballroom A, on the Montana State University campus. The event is part of the “Conversations on Collecting Yellowstone” conference hosted by Montana State University Library and University of Wyoming Libraries. The vendor fair is one of several free events open to conference goers and non-conference goes alike. Numerous artisans, collectors, rare book sellers, and more will be on hand. Stop by to meet the vendors and artists, purchase souvenirs, artwork, books, and other ephemera, and learn more about the history of Yellowstone National Park collectibles. A full vendor list is posted here: collectingyellowstone.com/vendor-fair/. The vendor area will be decorated with quilts from the Gallatin Quilt Guild.

Last year their members were challenged to make quilts inspired by Yellowstone. The resulting quilts range in style form from traditional to modern to art quilts. Vendor fair and quilt display • June 6, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. • June 7, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. • Strand Union Building Ballroom A, Montana State University

The “Conversations on Collecting Yellowstone” conference coincides with the 150th anniversary of the creation of Yellowstone National Park and draws scholars, researchers, collectors, librarians, and archivists to explore collections, scholarship and research related to the park and its greater ecosystem. Over 50 individuals from across the country will present including retired Yellowstone National Park historian Lee Whittlesey, author Dr. Diane Smith, Dr. Shane Doyle of the Apsáalooke Nation, and environmental leader Mike Clark. Conference leadership support is provided by Friends of MSU Library.
