October Exhibit: 'Wheat People: Celebrating Kansas Harvest'

The Seward County Community College/Area Technical School Library is proud to present the traveling exhibit, “Wheat People: Celebrating Kansas Harvest.”

Throughout much of the 20th century, Kansas has produced more wheat than most other countries. It comes as little surprise that Kansas is known by the nicknames “Wheat State” and “breadbasket.” It is a matter of great pride to farmers in the state that claims to feed the world.

“Wheat People: Celebrating Kansas Harvest” looks at why harvest is so important. More than just economic survival for farmers, it is a part of our past and our tradition. From the Golden Age of threshing to computerized combines, harvest time holds memories for many Kansans.

This exhibit also explores how changes in technology have influenced Kansas farm families. From field equipment to how meals are prepared and served are featured. Other aspects such as nature, storage, and after-harvest festivals are examined within the exhibit.

“Wheat People: Celebrating Kansas Harvest” was produced by the Kansas State Historical Society and is part of the Kansas Interpretive Traveling Exhibits Service.

The exhibit is open to the public for the entire month of October.

Gladys shows that women can handle power tools as well.

Gladys emphasizes the important part women in the factories played in helping win World War II.

Gladys explains some of the hardships women faced when joining a predominantly male workforce in the factories.

Come see Gladys

Just a reminder that we're kicking off our 2010-2011 "Lunch in the Library" series today at noon with "Gladys the Riveter."

Step back in time to Boeing's 1945 wartime aircraft plant as Gladys Haines with rivet gun in hand works on a B-29 airplane and helps us understand the challenges (large gloves, overly friendly supervisors, exhaustion, child care) and pleasures (great pay, after-work recreation, helping in the war effort) of doing "men's work" in the 1940s.

And don't forget, all those in attendance have a chance to WIN a framed "Rosie the Riveter" poster.

So bring your own lunch and we'll provide the drinks and cookies!

Hope to see you there.
