Closing Event for Almeda Fire Exhibit set for next month

August 25, 2023

Event will take place day after destructive Rogue Valley fire’s third anniversary

The Talent Historical Society will host an event commemorating the Almeda fire’s third anniversary from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 9, at the Talent Museum, 105 N. Market St., Talent.

The main exhibit will head to the Chetco Valley Historical Society in Brookings soon after, and then to the Oregon Cultural Trust — which funded the exhibit — offices in Salem. The Talent Historical Society partnered with the Jackson County Community Long Term Recovery Group — a nonprofit offering counseling and other services to fire victims — for the event.

Local 5-piece band Rickishane and dancers from the Turning Point Dance Studio will perform throughout the day. There will also be opportunities for attendees to share their stories about the fire.
