On Feb. 11, 2019 The Ellen Theater hosted a celebration of the publication of Bozeman from the Heart.

Paula Beswick MC’d the event, introducing June Safford, her co-editor, and the following contributors:  Steve Kirchoff; Chrysti Smith (aka Chrysti the Wordsmith); Greg Keeler; Carolyn Pinet; Valerie Hemingway; Keith McCafferty; Al Kesselheim and John Ludin.

The Eric Funk Quintet, featuring Jeni Fleming (vocals), Jake Fleming (saxaphone), Eddie T. (bass) and Michael Gillan (percussion) could not be included in this edition, due to copyright/royalty regulations. Their music was greatly appreciated by those in attendance.
