Had Fun at Stroud's Summer Fest for Children and Families


 After Covid left many community networks, events and activities were sidelined. Now, however, in Stroud, Oklahoma the local "STROUD ARTS" is gearing back up with theatrics, workshops, performances, and community art-based events. 

At end of July Marilyn A. Hudson was telling stories designed to delight, thrill, and engage audiences. 

Looking toward the Fall, in October she will be telling stories to raise a chill at the local museum, on Saturday October 11,2025 at the Route 66 Spirit of America Museum on Main Street/Route 66 in Stroud, Oklahoma. 

Marilyn is also a published author and her most recent works are for children, Annie Oklahoma: A Tall Tale and The Bottomless Well

In addition, she has put together a guidebook for informed sky watching called "What's That?: A Guide for UAP Spotting" where she seeks to raise awareness of the diversity of natural and manmade objects in our night and day skies, introduces astronomical activities/events, and weather activities that can be observed and identified, as well provide some guidelines for knowing when something is truly strange.
