January 28, 10:30 AM to 12 PM at Walnut Creek Preserve Nature Center - Doug Elliott offers "Woodslore and Wildwoods Wisdom: Stories, Songs, and Lore Celebrating the Natural World". Whether he's singing about catfish, pontificating on possums, extolling the virtues of dandelions, cawing with crows, pondering the “nature” in human nature, telling wild snake tales or wailing out a jivey harmonica tune, Doug Elliott is known for his lively presentations as well as his broad, practical, scientific, and cultural knowledge of the Southern Appalachian bioregion.
Elliot will be performing a concert of amazing tales, lively tunes, traditional lore, outrageous personal narratives with facts stranger than fiction. He flavors it all with regional dialects, lively harmonica riffs, and more than a few belly laughs. Time and weather permitting, there may also be an interpretive natural history stroll around the grounds of Walnut Creek Preserve after the presentation. Children and adults are welcome and the event is free.
