“Night At The
Museum”
Encore
Presentation “The McEachern Family In Webster Parish”
Doors Open at 5:30
If you missed it in April, now is your chance to hear and see a great
presentation. The 60th “Night at the Museum” will take place Monday October
10th, 2016. Due to extremely
heavy rains in April, this event will be an encore presentation featuring Timmie
McEachern and Ethan Spillers.
A nibble and a bite of history, fishing stories, and maybe a few tall
tales is how to describe what you will be experiencing on this night. This is your chance to hear a poet,
songwriter, photographer, fisherman extraordinaire, and a heck of BBQ man. McEachern will also be signing his new book
“Rhymes without Reason” a collection of poems inspired by God, nature and the South! McEachern and Spiller will take you back over
200 years of their family history.
“Not very long ago, I heard someone say; “Shake a tree in Minden and
you're probably going to see a McEachern fall out of it!” Many of the traditions of our Scottish ancestors
still hold true today. The roots of our
goodly heritage still run deep and it is clearly evident that we are
"clannish" and that can be seen by the large number of McEachern's,
living in Minden and in the northern part of Webster Parish where our ancestors
settled over 150 years ago..." Hard working, dependable and upright”,
that’s how I'd describe my McEachern family, one that I’m proud to be a part
of.” says, lifelong Minden resident, Timmie McEachern.
Don't miss your chance to hear about some of our local history.
