The 58th “Night at the Museum” will take place Monday April
11th, 2016. This event will
feature Timmie McEachern. 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!
“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.
