Characters
and Critters:
Tall tales with an encounter with an animal identified with the
West. You will meet a Bear, a Cougar and a Rattlesnake,
each with their own interesting personality. Best of all, you
will meet the men and women who have to deal with those
personalities.

"A Tapestry of Family Stories"
With a handmade quilt as a back drop, John Beach will
relate stories discovered in his family's search of their
heritage. Each quilt block represents one or more stories
from the joint history of John and his wife Judy's families.
Stories of faith and strength, humorous events and sad
times are all part of the program. Travel back with John
as he gives the audience glimpses of real persons who
helped settle the Western United States.
