Local author John Milbert presents a reading from his work, “Meatquake and Big Ernie.” An eclectic compilation of stories that cover a span of more than seventy years in settings ranging from the Oregon outdoors to urban environments, the anecdotal vignettes are shared in the fashion of yarns told around a fire to a small group of friends. Find out what it’s like to be bitten by a rattlesnake, outrun a derailing freight train, climb into a Golden Eagle’s nest, and more. Books will be available for sale.
