The Modoc County Library and the Friends of the Library are pleased to announce the return of Cowboy Poet and Entertainer, Larry Maurice to the Alturas Library. Larry Maurice has spent close to 48 years as a cowboy, horse wrangler, packer and ski instructor in the Eastern Sierra and the high deserts of Nevada. Mr. Maurice has hosted television specials for the FOX network, and his one man show, "Cowboy; The Spirit, The Lore, The Legacy" continues to keep him traveling around the country. Through poetry, song and stories, Larry is able to transport his audiences back in time, allowing them to experience the cattle drives, characters and critters of the old west. Larry has received the Academy of Western Artists coveted "Will Rogers Cowboy Award" for Cowboy Poet of the Year and the prestigious "American Cowboy Culture Award" presented by the Lubbock Cowboy Symposium for lifetime achievement in Cowboy Poetry.
This will be Larry’s fourth visit to the Modoc County Library. His performances are lively, entertaining, interactive and enjoyed by all ages. Join us on Friday, September 18, at 5:30 for this must-see event. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library, Larry’s performance is free to the public. The Alturas library is located at 212 West Third Street. The library can be reached at 530-233-6326.
