Red Fern Festival This Weekend

The last weekend in April means it’s time for the Red Fern Festival in Tahlequah, Okla. The morning rains didn’t cancel the events as vendors got their booths set up along Muskogee Avenue. The event is held each year in honor of Wilson Rawls, who lived in the Tahlequah area. He famously wrote the novel Where the Red Fern Grows published in 1961 based on his childhood experiences growing up in the Ozarks.

I'm an award winning journalist and photographer who covered dozens of homicides and even interviewed President Jimmy Carter on multiple occasions. A back injury in 2011 and other family medical emergencies sidelined my journalism career. But now, I'm doing my own thing, focusing on movies (one of my favorite topics), current events and politics (another favorite topic) and just anything I feel needs to be posted. Thank you for reading.
