Pat Jollata: A Retrospective
April 21, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm PDT
$15
The Clark County Historical Museum (CCHM) will open its 2022 History on Tap Season with “Pat Jollota: A Retrospective” at the Kiggins Theatre on April 21. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m.
Now entering its fourth season, History on Tap looks at how the past influences our present and informs the future. It’s built on the premise that history didn’t end on some dusty date on the calendar but is a dynamic story where every person is an active participant. In this year’s opening event, CCHM is excited to sit down with beloved local author and historian, Pat Jollota, to discuss her life and work.
Pat Jollota moved to Vancouver after retiring from the Los Angeles Police Department. A lover of history, Jollota has since devoted her life to unearthing and preserving our community’s stories while continuing her passion for civic engagement and advocacy. In addition to serving at the Clark County Historical Museum for 22 years. She served on the Vancouver City Council for 20 years, helped establish the Children’s Justice Center, and served on countless civic organizations. Her advocacy and dedication earned her recognition as Clark County’s First Citizen for 2012. She is also the author of 8 books exploring Clark County’s history – including her newest one, Haunted Vancouver, Washington (September 2020).
The evening will include our newest segment One History and a Lie, where audience members try to figure out which tidbits of history are true and which ones are fake. We’re also bringing back the popular Clark County Trivia with a twist! This year the crew from our presenting sponsor, Business Over Beer, will compete all season for the title of “King of Trivia” as they try to answer questions about Clark County and beyond.
Admission to History on Tap is $15 in advance, $18 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at the Kiggins Theatre Box Office or online at kigginstheatre.com/movies/history-on-tap.
The 2022 History on Tap season is brought to you by Business Over Beer. Special thanks to our sponsors Vancouver’s Downtown Association and Mickler & Associates. Program support provided by Versa Events (formerly Wager Audio).
