Library holds poetry reading at Chamber

Students from various schools, including Mrs. Carol Neal?s reading enrichment class, will recite their favorite poems, some of which will be original works.

Joining the students will be actor Brad Thornton, who will play the lead in the movie ?Tenebrous,? which will begin filming in McMinnville in May, community leaders, including County Executive John Pelham, teachers Carol Neal, who will accompany her reading on the autoharp, and Debbie Glenn. Also on hand will be Phil Melfi, of the production company making ?Tenebrous,? Pat Bigbee, library Board of Trustees chairperson, library board member Rachel Killebrew, Standard news editor Charlie Johnson and others.

Tickets for the event, which are $5 for adults and $2 for children age 12 and under, will be available at the door beginning at 5:30 p.m. on the evening of the performance. Tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. Seating is limited. Proceeds from ?Poetry Fest? will benefit Magness Library, and will be used to help furnish the children?s library which will be located in the new building addition.
