Friday Night

"Stories Around the Campfire"

and

"Campfire Jam Session"

Come join us as we sit around the campfire and listen to these two local storytellers share their favorite tales and stories of the Ozarks. Meet our historians:

Travis Holt was born in the Ozarks and raised at his family home at Vendor where his Holt line settled in the 1850’s. He graduated from Mt. Judea in 2006. He currently lives near Omaha, AR with his wife and Three Children. Travis is the author of the blog: The Shadow of Red Rock as well as the President of the Historical Society of Newton County, Arkansas. Travis is a wealth of knowledge of the rich history of our area as well as a highly entertaining storyteller! Travis also remembers those who passed on long ago by placing grave markers on unmarked graves as well as writing tributes to those who climbed these mountains before us.

Stanley Taylor is a local author as well as the preacher of Lurton Assembly of God Church. He is also appointed to the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission. The Commission oversees and manages 79 natural areas throughout the state of Arkansas. Mr. Stanley is a captivating storyteller and has written a book entitled “The Legend of Nail”. We highly recommend that you grab a signed copy at “Stories Around the Campfire”.
