After a huge turnout Thursday at the screening of footage from the final float down Big Horn Canyon and an earlier trip down the river, the National Park Service is showing the films again, Saturday, Jan. 30, at 1 p.m. at the Hyart Theater in Lovell.
"Last night we had a huge turn out for Historic Movie Night," said Christy Fleming of the NPS. "208 people turned out. We stuffed the Auditorium to overflowing and still had to turn away over 100 people."
After speaking to Hyart management, Fleming worked out a deal to show the films at the historic theater in Lovell, which should have no problem with over capacity.

Big Horn Canyon movie night
In August of 1965, a diverse group of 29 men began what would be referred to as “The Last Trip.”
Leaving a sand and rock covered beach south of the confluence of the Shoshone and Big Horn Rivers in five rubber boats, these men floated down the Big Horn River through Big Horn Canyon.
On Jan. 28, 2010, starting at 7 p.m. at the Big Horn Canyon Visitor Center, Wes Meeker of Lovell will share his story and film footage of that historic trip. A second film, taken by five adventurous men in August of 1949, will be shown afterwards.
An expanded story will be in Thursday's Chronicle.
