December 7th, 2017. 6:30pm. Village Center, Multipurpose room. CU Boulder Campus. The Center of the American West is proud to present the Wallace Stegner Award and the Fools for a Day Award to Senator Alan & Pete Simpson and their wives Ann and Lynne. Each year, the Center of the American West presents the Wallace Stegner Award to an individual or group of individuals who have made a sustained contribution to the cultural identity of the West through literature, art, history, lore, or an understanding of the West. The Center also presents a Fool for a Day award annually to celebrate those individuals whose skills and temperaments support the central conviction of the Center of the American West: A dose of good humor is essential to constructive public discussion, and not coincidentally, to public health. Thanks to Al and Carol Ann Olson, for their support of the Stegner Award, and to Bill and Jane Reynolds for their support of the Humor Initiative.
