Down on the Farm with the CCC Boys! A Musical Tribute to the Civilian Conservation Corps

Michigan-based author Bill Jamerson will present a music and storytelling program about the Civilian Conservation Corps at the  Marion Public Library on Tuesday, April 2 at 6:30pm.  

Jamerson's presentation includes telling stories, singing original songs and reading excerpts from his novel.  He has performed at dozens of CCC reunions around the country and at CCC-built national and state parks. The presentation is as entertaining as it is important; as honest as it is fun. It's about people both ordinary and extraordinary, with stories of wit, charm and strength.  This year is the 80th anniversary of the CCC.

The folk songs Jamerson performs with his guitar range from heartwarming ballads to foot stomping jigs. A question and answer period and book signing will follow his presentation. Former CCC’ers and their families are encouraged to attend and invited to bring photo albums and CCC memorabilia.
