"The Magic Barrel: A Reading to Fight Hunger" features some of Oregon’s finest authors in a benefit for Linn-Benton Food Share. Linn Benton Food Share, a program of Community Services Consortium works to relieve hunger in the mid-Willamette Valley.
The line-up features several local writers with freshly published books--fiction writer Tracy Daugherty, (One Day the Wind Changed), and poets Jennifer Richter(Threshold) and Charles Goodrich (Going to Seed). Also reading are Oregon Book Award-winner Scott Nadelson (Saving Stanley: The Brickman Stories), Virginia Browne and Linda Hamner (Letters from Cleo and Tyrone), OSU historian Bill Robbins (Oregon, This Storied Land), OSU English instructor Wayne Harrison, and local poet Beth Russell. Bob Crum will serve as emcee, and Sideways Portal will provide live jazz.
Suggested donation is for $7 at the door, but no one is turned away for lack of funds. Now in its 17th year, The Magic Barrel is sponsored by the OSU Center for the Humanities, with support from OSU Printing and Mailing, the Spring Creek Project, and other area donors.
