2009 Waynoka Collectors Calendar For Sale

CAPTION: The Santa Fe Reading Room near Broadway Crossing in Waynoka is the subject on the 2009 Collectors Calendar.

"Waynoka 2009 Collectors Calendar For Sale -- The Waynoka Historical Society has been publishing calendars since about 1989, missing only one or two years, and the Society has once again gone to its collection of photographs for a variety of subjects for the 2009 calendar.

The cover features a 1910 color postcard of the Santa Fe Reading Room that was built near Broadway Crossing for a home-away-from-home for the many train crews that worked into Waynoka every day. The two-story building was surrounded by trees, vines, hedges, and flowers. The photos for each month include the State Championship Basketball Team in 1959, coached by Tom Treece, construction of the turntable at the Santa Fe Roundhouse in 1908, a circa 1920 photo of a rock cairn in Cheyenne Valley, Dr. E.P. Clapper and the hospital which bore his name, the senior class of 1918 on a hay ride, a group at the mouth of a bat cave southwest of the Cimarron River, the Waynoka Ice Cream Factory, a visitor from Canada at the TAT Airport northeast of Waynoka in 1929-30, mining for diamonds in 1908 in the rail yard area, Charles H. Hink and his horse-drawn dray making a delivery in downtown Waynoka in 1912, a large downtown rally on Missouri Street in 1912, and a 1902 Congregational Church women's sextet accompanied on the piano by the church's first minister.

Cost of a calendar is $7.95 plus $.70 tax. For mail orders, add $1.50. Add $.50 for each additional calendar mailed to a single address.
