Living history presentation comes to Swan Valley, July 12

SWAN VALLEY - Annie Oakley is coming to Condon to share a fascinating part of American history, including not only the most famous woman sharpshooter, but also historic figures who crossed her path, including Buffalo Bill Cody, Chief Sitting Bull and famous newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst.

The public is invited to this free half-hour performance at the Swan Valley Community Hall on Tuesday, July 12 at 2 p.m., hosted by the Condon chapter of American Association of Retired Persons (AARP).

Annie Oakley will be portrayed by Cheryl Heser of Forsyth, Montana. After teaching English, Spanish, Journalism and Library in Rosebud, Heser was the Director of the Rosebud County Library in Forsyth for 17 years. She won a Media Award from the Montana Library Association for a radio program called Library Connections and was the 2014 Montana Librarian of the Year.

For three years in the mid-2000s, Heser performed living history throughout the state as Dolly Madison and is currently sharing her presentation of Annie Oakley with school and community groups.

From July 12-14, Heser will appear as Annie Oakley in Polson, Condon, Whitefish, and Philipsburg.

In her carefully researched program Heser includes Annie Oakley's inspiring views on strong women and the development of skills and expertise.
