Another installment of the popular “Red Dirt Memories: Storytelling with Jerry Permenter” is planned from 1 to 4 p.m. tomorrow and Sunday, Dec. 15 and 16, at The Cole Art Center @ The Old Opera House in downtown Nacogdoches. Permenter’s newly published book, “Red Dirt Memories,” will be available for purchase.
A native of the Swift community in Nacogdoches County, Permenter, who goes by the name Red DirtBoy on Facebook, grew up in rural East Texas, and his memories of those early years laid the groundwork for what is now the Facebook page Red Dirt Memories, which has more than 10,000 followers. SFA Press is publishing “Red Dirt Memories,” and a limited number will be available for purchase and for Permenter to sign at the Christmas edition of storytelling at The Cole Art Center. Books are $20 each. Cash or check only will be accepted.
Permenter will again share some of his own “red dirt” memories in holiday-themed storytelling sessions both afternoons. Admission is free.
For more information, call (936) 468-6557.
