Want to learn more about a group of fox hunters whose membership began a few years before the Great Depression? You'll get your chance Tuesday.
The Lakewood Historical Society will discuss a new book about the Woodbrook Hunt Club at its monthly meeting. The club rich in tradition was established in 1926 and is marketed as the oldest fox-hunting club west of the Mississippi River.
(To the left is a News Tribune photo of one of the club's events that TNT photographer Dean Keopfler snapped in 2001)
Local author Joy Keniston-Longrie wrote “History of the Woodbrook Hunt Club,” (Arcadia Publishing) and will speak at the historical society's meeting Tuesday.
The book contains more than 200 black and white images and provides a fascinating look at the history of hunting and recreational riding on the southern prairies of Washington State.
In addition to her presentation, copies of the book will be available for purchase.
The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m., at the Lakewood branch of the Pierce County Library System, 6300 Wildaire Rd SW.
The public is invited to attend and there is no charge. If you're a history buff, this might be interesting.
