(courtesy photo)
“New Folk” performers.
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. On
Sunday, Pretty Gritty, Ventucky
String
Band,
Deborah
Henriksson and Kathy Boyd
and Phoenix Rising will per-
form.
Shoppers and art aficionados
will find a lot to like at this
year’s Artisan Craft Fair.
Open free to the public on
Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5:30
p.m., and Sunday, from 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m., this year’s fair fea-
tures a great combination of
new products and old favorites.
Also on Saturday, don’t miss
the annual amateur pie-baking
contest, which has become a
tradition at the Winter Folk
Festival. Sponsored by Kitchen
Klutter, this year’s contest fea-
tures four different categories
for bakers: apple, berry, other
fruit or nut and no-sugar-added.
No cream, custard or meringue
pies will be accepted, and noth-
ing else that needs to be refrig-
erated.
Bring pies to the Florence
Events Center on Saturday at
10 a.m. Judging begins at 11
a.m., and the winners will be
announced at 1 p.m. There will
be a winner in each category, as
well as an overall Best-in-Show
winner. And then, of course,
there is the eating. Pie for $3
per slice will go on sale at 1:30
p.m.; first come, first served, so
get in line early.
Applications are available
online at winterfolkfestival.org.
The entry fee is $3 for the first
pie, $2 for each additional pie,
and there is a limit of three
entries per person.
Bring completed applica-
tions and entry fees to the FEC
by the end of the day on
Thursday, Jan. 15. Late entries
will be accepted, but there is an
additional fee of $1 per pie.

choristers. The Community
Chorus of Florence plans to

aid available for those quali-

Howard Pazdral called Jill with
the amazing report on the wan-
dering Foo dog.
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.”

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
