Then the audience will be invited to get up and learn a few modern dance moves. The full dances will be performed at OUTSIDE IN 2.0 at TACAW July 19, 7 pm in Basalt, and is appropriate for all ages.

Jeff Lowdermilk’s slide-show presentation is based on his book, “Honoring The Doughboys: Following My Grandfather’s World War I Diary.” It presents contemporary photographs taken by the author and paired with diary entries written by his grandfather, George A. Carlson, who was a soldier in the U.S. Army during World War I. He followed his grandfather’s path through France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany. His photographs and engaging stories bring the diary to life and offer a moving expression of gratitude to American veterans of the Great War. For more information call the library at 970-963-2889.
