Music, Education and Food

The Bollinger County Library is excited about our upcoming performance on Nov. 5th at 6 pm. Dennis Stroughmatt will be here to share his knowledge of the connection between Missourians and Cajuns. The fiddle he holds will sound like magic when he starts sharing his musical talents also. The program is family orientated. Dennis will be presenting for an hour then food will be available to all who attend. We will not be having Cajun food due to the spices and heat that are involved but we will have a good meal to offer you. This is a FREE program so please arrange to come and participate in this wonderful opportunity offered right here in Marble Hill!
