Cara — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 21:24:38 +0000

Monday, January 18, at 12:00 noon, the Ashland Library will host its first luncheon of the new year. Country humorist, Jerry W. Engler, author of Just Folks, A Heartland Voice and Highly Embellished Truth, will entertain. As Engler says, “I think my stories are better than TV, and not half so nasty as day-time TV. They continue to be fiction literature, highly embellished truth, complete concoctions or great lies!”

Engler has traveled extensively promoting his books, including engagements at the Kansas Festival for the Book, the Sampler Festival and the Kansas State Fair.

Reservations required by January 15, six dollar donation is suggested to help cover costs.
