Dobie Dichos started in 2011 at the suggestion of Dobie Dichos emcee and author, William Sibley, and via the instigation of former George West Storyfest Exec. Director, Mary Margaret Campbell. The yearly event (always the first Friday in November) honors Live Oak County’s most famous son, J. Frank Dobie, and celebrates Dobie’s works and contributions to literature, folklore, and storytelling.
Invited Texas writers/authors and storytellers (some famous, some infamous!) read from, discuss, debate and/or tell stories from the works of J. Frank Dobie on the grounds of the Historic Oakville Jail, located in Oakville, TX on IH37 in Live Oak County (between Three Rivers and George West.)
