“Grandma’s Apron Strings” is Plain Jane Green’s theme as the Keynote Speaker this year at the Dakotafest Women’s Brunch, August 19th, 10:00 a.m. The Brunch will be held at a new location, the Highland Conference Center, 2000 Highland Way, Mitchell, SD.
Prairie daughter, cattle sorter, dog lover, and author, Jane Green of Clark, SD, relates her misadventures of being a South Dakota farm wife, mother, and grandmother. She has divided her time between teaching high school students, raising four rowdy kids of her own, and trying to help her husband Jim with their farm. Some of her stories are real doozies and will bring you a laugh or a smile.
A major influence on Jane’s life has been the encouragement, which she received from the distinguished author Frederick Manfred, to write her stories and publish them. Each of her stories speaks to Manfred’s mentoring and her love of the prairie life. Her books are titled, Plain Jane’s Misadventures, Volumes I and II.
Jane currently writes for three newspapers, The Cattle Business Weekly, The Farm Forum and the Western Ag Reporter.
Tickets will go on sale July 1st, at the Chamber of Commerce Office, 601 N. Main, on a first come first served basis. Ticket cost is $14 – advance and $18 – at the door.
