The Western Heritage Museum and Lea County Cowboy Hall of Fame is excited to announce Virtual Staked Plains Roundup, September 10 and 11, from 8am - 5pm. Staked Plains Roundup is an annual, two-day event, normally for 4th graders, located on the campus of New Mexico Junior College and hosted by the Lea County Cowboy Hall of Fame. This event allows students to visit various presenters, each discussing an aspect of life on the Llano Estacado, or Staked Plains, past or present. Students, teachers, and the community are invited to participate in this virtual event. “We decided to stay with the traditional two-day event,” explained Executive Director, Erin Anderson, “but the virtual platform allows us to offer access to these presenters year-round. We can even add on to the Staked Plains playlist over time.” Visitors who attended the event in the past will notice some of their favorite presenters, but will also find some new faces as well. Children will learn about branding, native plants and animals, New Mexican music, and so much more. Access to the event is free and easy: log on to the Museum’s Facebook (facebook.com/WHMuseum) or Instagram (whmnmjc) for videos and activities posted throughout the days. Want to watch them all at once, or access them later? Check out the Museum’s YouTube channel and click on the Staked Plains playlist.
