Public premier of “Guardian of the Chisholm Trail” set for Dec. 16
Visit Enid (Enid Convention & Visitors Bureau) and the City of Enid will co-host the public premier of Guardian of the Chisholm Trail, the documentary DVD featuring Enid native and Chisholm Trail historian Bob Klemme.
The premier showing will be Sunday, Dec. 16 at 3 pm at Convention Hall, 301 S Independence.
Guardian of the Chisholm Trail is a two-disc set, including a 30-minute documentary DVD featuring Klemme. From the jacket cover, “This story unfolds in present day as Klemme shares his passion and knowledge about the Chisholm Trail and its stories with a family out on a Sunday drive. Historical reenactments of pieces of history along and about the Chisholm Trail include stories on the marrying tree, Pat Hennessey, Cowboy Monument, and Skeleton Creek Ranch.”
The second disc is an audio travel guide CD with cowboy poetry, legends, maps to historic sites and more.
Klemme has dedicated his life to preserving the heritage of the region. His boyhood fascination with the historic Chisholm Trail led him to personally mark the exact path the trail took across Oklahoma. Klemme spent countless hours constructing and setting over 400 concrete markers that weighed approximately 200 pounds each, with his goal being to create interest in the Chisholm Trail and his hope is that some day it will become a National Historic Trail.
Klemme will be on hand for the public premier, which happens to be the day after his birthday. Refreshments – including birthday cake – will be served.
Admission is free, and Guardian of the Chisholm Trail will be available for sale the day of the showing. The two-disc DVD is just $15 plus sales tax. It is also available at the Enid Welcome Center, 123 W Maine, the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center, 507 S 4th, and at Soapweeds and Cactus, 122 N Independence.
