About the Sunday Evening Program at the Westward Look
The Sunday Evening Program is one of the best opportunities for people to learn, first-hand, some of the real-life stories and perspectives behind these incredible minerals. Each year, we assemble a special panel of seasoned experts to share their thoughts, stories and experiences in their pursuit of minerals.
Mineral-collecting pioneers, such as Edward Swoboda, Peter Bancroft, Bill Larson, David Wilber, Charlie Key, and many more have graced our stage. After the presentation, we open up the floor to questions and answers and always get lively discussions going. This quickly becomes a standing-room-only event, so get here early!
Sunday, February 9, 2020
On February 9th, our annual “Sunday Evening Program” in the resort’s Sonoran Ballroom is open to all starting with a social hour at 6:30pm and the presentation at 7:30pm.
Two talks will be presented by the editors of The Mineralogical Record magazine: Chris Stefano, the magazine’s newest editor, will present “World-class minerals from the Keweenaw,” and Wendell Wilson will present “Minerals in the Movies”. As every year at our program, the American Heritage Mineral Award will be presented prior to the talks.
