Take a trip down memory lane and visit Tarkio Tech’s open house Tuesday, May 12, at 5:00 p.m. in the Curnutt Center. Recently, reproductions of Edna O’Dell’s paintings that once graced the walls of the Walnut Inn in Tarkio were hung on the walls of the Sid Cooper Banquet Hall at the Curnutt Center. Take a look at the reproductions on the bottom floor and stop by the David Rankin/Tarkio Museum on the top floor for an evening full of history (don’t forget to take a gander at the WWII newspapers hanging on the wall outside the museum). Refreshments and other entertainment will be provided. The Mule Barn Theatre Guild is sponsoring the event.
