In October of 1937, Catholic Priest Father John Crowley, carried out one of the grandest events to have taken place in the Eastern Sierra, in a magnificent three-day pageant. Over 50,000 people watched in amazement as a special gourd of water was moved from the highest lake in the United States, to the lowest spot in the western hemisphere by a host of characters including Hop Along Cassidy, an Indianapolis 500 winner, the 20-Mule Team Wagon and many more. Even the President of the United States and the Governor of California were involved. Join local historians David & Gayle Woodruff as they take you back in time, to look back on this unique and improbable bit of Eastern Sierra history in a 55-minute slide show. At the Carson City Senior Center at 1:30PM. 911 Beverly Dr, Carson City, NV 89706
