The Ozarks have a rich history and culture of storytelling, and as we experience the fall season, Kimberling Area Library is thankful for knowledgeable and talented local area speakers who tantalize and fascinate us with stories of the local area.
On Wednesday, November 14, join friends at Kimberling Area Library as Robert and Karlene McGill share about the history of Reeds Spring via storytelling. Their stories will help identify “how we got here” from a farming community to over 2,000 people, including a strong educational presence through the excellent Reeds Spring school system.
The McGills are not new to Ozarks storytelling; they have authored or contributed to several books including “Branson’s Entertainment Pioneers” and “In the Heart of Ozark Mountain Country.” They were also the visionaries behind preserving traditional Ozarks music in new generations, starting with summer “fiddle camps” for youth and continuing through what is now the successful and popular Ozark Mountain Music Association.
Don’t miss this informative and enjoyable gathering starting at 10:15 on Wednesday, November 13, in the Library Community Room, 45 Kimberling Blvd. in Kimberling City. Coffee and light snacks are provided; attendance is FREE, and prior registration is not required.
