14th Annual Event Presented by DOBIE DICHOS, Inc.
Campfires, Chili con Carne, and the Words of J. Frank Dobie
Honoring Live Oak County’s most famous son, J. Frank Dobie, to celebrate Dobie’s works and contributions to literature, folklore, and storytelling.
Cited by The New York Times as "one of the most interesting events to attend" in Texas!
“If Dobie had left instructions in his will, the Dobie Dichos readings would be exactly as they are now. Stories told around a countryside campfire, friends eating barbecue and feeling blessed by the stars. Listen, our literary father’s clapping.”
