Have I told you about Darrell Huckaby?

     I haven't?  Well, lordy mercy, let me tell you about this funny man!
     He's an author who has been called "Garrison Keeler with a Southern accent."  He's been called "the South's hidden literary treasure."  He's a syndicated columnist, a noted author, a teacher and a public speaker.
     And he's going to here at the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library on Monday, December 6th, at 7 p.m. to tell you all about grits and catfish, the flag of the South and the Civil War (not what he calls it), and road trips, Georgia football, and his family.
     Darrell draws from his own experiences about growing up in Newton County, Georgia's mill village of Porterdale.  He writes about everyday life in America the way it is, the way it used to be, and the way he thinks it should be.  He'll make you laugh, occasionally cry, and sometimes shake your head in disbelief.
     In fact, when you come see him on Monday, you'll even be able to purchase his books, which include What the Huck!, Dinner on the Grounds (a great cookbook), Grits is Groceries (my favorite), Southern is as Southern Does, Need Two and Need Four.  And if you want, he'll even autograph the books for you.  (Think of it this way, you will be purchasing some of the best Christmas gifts you can give; you can't give anything better than a book!)
     Oh, yes!  Since Darrell is a graduate of the University of Georgia and writes a syndicated column called The Dawgbone each week during football season, I bet you can even get him involved in a good discussion about those Georgia bulldogs!
     Come join us!  We expect to have a good time.
