Oregon Book Award winners Matthew Dickman, Lauren Kessler, Henry Hughes, Gina Ochsner and five other distinguished writers from Oregon will read from their works Oct. 25 in Corvallis at the 20th annual Magic Barrel: A Reading to Fight Hunger event.
National Book Award winner Barry Lopez will emcee, and the event will include readings from other authors as well as music, a silent auction, free hors d’oeuvres, sweets and wine.
Admission is a suggested donation of $9 at the door, but listeners are
encouraged to give what they can. Nobody is turned away for lack of
funds. All proceeds will go to Linn Benton Food Share to fight hunger in
the Corvallis and Albany community.
The event will take place at the historic Whiteside Theatre, a 1920s Italian Renaissance movie palace in downtown Corvallis under restoration. The music begins at 6:30pm, with readings beginning at 7pm.
