Tree enthusiast to perform
at EMU Amphitheater
Warren David Jacobs loves trees. In particular, he loves a maple that used to be found in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Jacobs spent 18 years visiting the tree, but in 1996, it was struck by lightning.
This prompted Jacobs to compile a book called "Tree Stories: A Collection of Extraordinary Encounters," which contains stories from Jacobs as well as published authors, artists, environmentalists, teachers and schoolchildren.
At 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jacobs will be in the EMU Amphitheater to perform a special show which includes stories, songs and audience sing-alongs. The show is open to tree lovers of all ages. People are encouraged to show the performer how serious Oregonians are about trees.
"It promises to be a very fun evening of tale telling and entertainment form this thoughtful storyteller and performer -- a terrific picnic dinner opportunity," according to a University Bookstore statement.
