Robert Weir Brings “Great Crossings” Presentation to Studio 1219
Posted March 27, 2011
Author/sailor/speaker Robert Weir returns to Port Huron to present “Great Crossings” 6pm Saturday, April 9 at Studio 1219 in Port Huron. Dinner and show is only $15.00 per person, and will be catered by Chef Shell. The presentation centers around Weir’s exciting account of his voyages last year as he sailed across the Atlantic on a tall ship, and later explored the Mediterranean, Aegean, Black, and Baltic seas.
Tickets are by advance reservation only and can be made by visiting the Studio or calling (810) 984-2787. There are also a limited number of show-only tickets available for $8.00. Weir is dedicating the Port Huron presentation to the life and work of friend Janice Littlefield.
The meal consists of a salad, oven roasted potatoes, green beans almadine, a selection of desserts and drinks, and choice of two entrees: sliced roast beef and Tilappia with baby shrimp.
Robert Weir is the author of “ Cobble Creek,” “Peace, Justice, Care of Earth,” and “Brain Tumor.” He was born in Port Huron in 1948, raised in Emmett, and graduated from Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Elementary, Port Huron Catholic High School, and Port Huron Junior College. He lived in Port Huron again from 1998 to 2004 and has many friends in Emmett and the Port Huron area.
