The Galesburg Charleston Township Library, located at 188 E. Michigan Ave., Galesburg, is pleased to welcome back National Morel Hunting Champion Anthony Williams for an evening of stories, tips, and tricks on Thursday, April 17, at 6:30 pm.
Whether a seasoned pro or a first-time picker, attednees are bound to find a new perspective to gathering the illusive morel from this “Pickin’ with the Champ” seminar.
After winning the National Morel Hunting Championship five years in a row, Williams retired from competitive picking to become the “Expert in Residence” for The National Morel Festival in Boyne City. Williams’ “Pickin’ with the Champ” seminar is filled with stories from his 70 years of picking and tips on where and how to pick — including the finer points of finding the elusive morel. Seminars are 45-60 minutes followed by a Q&A period with the audience.
The Williams family has been picking morels in Northern Michigan since the 1890s, and Anthony’s pickin’ advice has proven enlightening for everyone.
This project is funded in part by Michigan Humanities, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Michigan Arts and Culture Council.
All programs are open to the public. For more information, call 269-665-7839 or visit www.galesburgcharlestonlibrary.org.
