Wednesday, January 10, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 15 Museum to screen film on gay rodeo High Desert Museum has a new fox The High Desert Museum will hold a special screen- ing of the documentary film “Queens and Cowboys: A Straight Year on the Gay Rodeo” followed by a discus- sion with the film’s director and a competitor featured in the film on Friday, January 26 at 7 p.m. The documentary fol- lows four competitors over a year of competition on the International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA) circuit. The critically acclaimed film won the 2014 Dallas International Film Festival’s Audience Award Winner Documentary Feature, the Best Documentary Feature at the Arizona International Film Festival 2014 and the Atlanta Film Festival’s Pink Peach Feature 2014 Grand Jury Prize, among other awards. “This award-winning documentary will challenge assumptions about cow- boys and cowgirls,” said the Museum’s Executive Director Dana Whitelaw, Ph.D. “Queens & Cowboys also tells the important story of challenges that these com- petitors face both in and out of the arena.” Director Matt Livadary and gay rodeo competitor Wade Earp will hold a Q&A PHOTO PROVIDED The High Desert Museum has a new wildlife ambas- sador: a juvenile gray fox from Wildlife Images Rehabilitation and Education Center in Grants Pass, Oregon. The young male fox was brought to their rehab center in September because it was ill and exhibiting some neurological deficien- cies. While being nursed back to health, the fox exhib- ited some unusual behavior including not being fearful of humans. Wildlife Images and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife determined that despite the best efforts to correct the behavior, the best option for the fox was to place discussion at the Museum immediately following the film. For the competitors in the IGRA, rodeo is an impor- tant focus in their lives, but so too is the camaraderie and emotional support they find on the gay rodeo circuit. The film is being shown in conjunction with the cur- rent exhibition, Blake Little: Photographs from the Gay Rodeo. Attendees are invited to explore the exhibit prior to the film screening. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the Museum’s café will be open for food and drinks, including wine and beer. The screening starts at 7 p.m., followed by the discussion. Cost for the movie is $7 for members and $10 for non- members.
