The Creek Fire Storytelling Project: Recollections of the 2020 Creek Fire – Book Launch Celebration

The Creek Fire Storytelling Project: Recollections of the 2020 Creek Fire

The Museum of the Sierra and Central Sierra Resiliency Fund are thrilled to announce the arrival of our new book: The Creek Fire Storytelling Project: Recollections of the 2020 Creek Fire!  

The museum will celebrate with a book launch event on Friday, August 2^nd from 5-7pm at the Museum of the Sierra in Shaver. A brief program will take place at 5:45. Books will be on sale and light refreshments will be provided. The event is open to the public, please rsvp!

Since January 2021, the Resiliency Fund’s storytelling committee has been working to gather stories of the Creek Fire into a collection to create a permanent record of this important local event.   Over the last few years, the committee—Kristin Telles, Lisa Monteiro, Ari Levin-Arroyo, Donna Baker Martin, Deborah Bell and Brian Clague have worked to compile the 66 submissions that we received into a nearly 200-page full-color book.

Books will be on sale in the museum giftshop beginning at the book launch on the evening of August 2^nd. They will also be sold at the Museum of the Sierra’s Black Pot Fundraiser on August 3rd and at the September 1^st Mountain Strong: Creek Fire Remembrance Concert at Huntington Lake. During our kickoff events, books will be sold for $35, after that the price will go up to $40 (prices include sales tax). 

We would like to thank the Storytellers who shared their stories with our project as well as the Shaver Lake Lions Club and Sierra Pacific Orthopedics for their financial support in bringing this book to our community.
