The Chicago native came to New York via Oklahoma, which he considers to be his home state. His family moved there in 1948, when he was 10 years old, and he graduated from Bristow High School and the University of Oklahoma, where he majored in drama while his interest in folk music grew and eventually predominated. Clap and sing along to Tom Paxton standards, such as “The Last Thing On My Mind,” “Ramblin’ Boy,” “Bottle of Wine,” “Whose Garden Was This?” “Goin’ to the Zoo” and “The Marvelous Toy.” During the daytime on Saturday, concert-goers can lis- ten to additional folk music from the following performers: Larry Potts, Sky in the Road, Mike and Carleen McCornack and The Sugar Beets.

He said that a strange dog had simply walked up to him, while he was out with his own dogs. The strangest thing was that Howard felt that the dog was talking to him. “I’m lost. I’m injured. Help me.” Howard said he could hear the message loud and clear and knew this was the dog, albeit a little worse for wear, that Jill had told him about. Foo stayed close to Howard and his pets, and all seemed to get along. If you met the dog, you could imagine how this special ani- mal could “talk” with people. Soon Jill arranged for Howard to meet with the Porters and return Foo. “It’s the best present I’ve ever had,” Janet said. Foo was hungry and dirty and two of his toes on one paw were broken; he’d been on his own in the woods for almost a month. His vet eventually had to amputate the toes, but Foo doesn’t seem to mind. And still the community came forward, happy to hear the news of the unlikely reunion. True Value, Florence Feed and Seed, Mini Petmart, Twin Lakes Store and Florence Massage and Body Spa all donated a bed, toys, food and snacks in one giant Christmas present for the dog. Jill was surely the driving force behind collecting the donations as she traveled around town telling the story of the found Foo. Janet was overwhelmed with the dedicated people of Florence. “I’ve never seen such kindness,” she said. “Don’t give up when you lose a dog.” at 3pm Join us for Live Music, Refreshments and Prizes!

Tom Paxton will headline the 2015 Winter Folk Festival on Saturday, Jan. 17, at 7:30 p.m. at the Florence Events Center. There also will be eight other performers during the day on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 18, in addition to the annual Artisan Craft Fair and amatuer pie-baking contest and sale. Paxton has become a voice of his generation, addressing issues of injustice and inhu- manity, laying bare the absurd- ities of modern culture and cel- ebrating the tenderest bonds of family, friends and community. In describing Paxton’s influ- ence on his fellow musicians, Pete Seeger has said, “Tom’s songs have a way of sneaking up on you. You find yourself humming them, whistling them, and singing a verse to a friend. Like the songs of Woody Guthrie, they’re becoming part of America.” Paxton has been an integral part of the songwriting and folk music community since the early 1960s Greenwich Village scene, and continues to be a primary influence on today’s
