Grandchildren, and now readers of all ages, enjoy the true tales of wacky, rollicking adventures. Sometimes poignant, sometimes a little scary…like encountering bears, a moose, a bull, or frogs in the middle of the night. A retired teacher, Lynn can’t resist inserting little bits of history into stories about places in the Rogue Valley or as far away as the Azores.

If you like hiking, camping, traveling, or prefer to enjoy adventures vicariously, you are invited to join Lynn for an hour of entertaining short stories – and a reminder of how important it is to be able to laugh at ourselves and our funny predicaments. Held 7 to 8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 22.

Lynn Ransford is an Ashland author and avid hiker. Her two previous books are “Grandma, Tell Me a Story About Bears” and “Grandma, Tell Me a Story About Critters”
