Ranch
Host of the Year 2010
Royce and Sylvia Pickens

| Ranch Hosts assist with educational
programs and special projects at the NRHC. They
enable the NRHC to expand services and activities
for visitors and researchers.

Ranch Hosts help bring the
Center to life by transforming the structures
into learning opportunities for visitors who
come from throughout the United States and many
foreign countries. Ranch Hosts may serve as
tour guides, building docents, participants
in living history and educational programs,
special events and projects, or in other volunteer
capacities. |

Sunday Hosts Program
Every
third Sunday, Ranch Hosts volunteers in period
clothing will be at many of the historic structures
interpreting ranch histories. Come to the National
Ranching Heritage Center to talk with our knowledgeable
volunteers and learn about ranch life from the
1780s to 1930s. Each month will focus on a different
aspect of pioneer history, including traditional
music and dancing, cooking and quilting demonstrations.
