THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT MENDOCINO COUNTY
A Presentation with Local Author Katy M. Tahja
Saturday, May 3 from 2-3 PM
What was Winston Churchill doing in Willits in 1929? Why do we have white deer here? What do potato chips and Laura Scudder have to do with history here? Which Miss America was born here and what special skill did she have? Why did a local newspaper headline the phrase “Private Parts in Public Places?” Join us at the Ukiah Branch Library on Saturday, May 3rd at 2 pm for an informative & fun presentation with local author Katy Tahja!
Katy Tahja is a retired librarian and author who lives out in the woods in Comptche. She is a docent at the Kelley House Museum in Mendocino. A professional storyteller, she portrays several figures out of history and always has a good folktale to share. A resident of the county for fifty years, living with three generations on a ranch owned by her husband’s family of 100 years, she enjoys collecting local history. On her wild side she’s been going to the Burning Man gathering in the Nevada desert for more than a decade…but that is a whole other story.
This program is sponsored by Mendocino County Library and the generous contributions from Ukiah Valley Friends of the Library. Please contact the Ukiah Branch Library at 707-463-4490 or [email protected] for more information.
