Author Rick Tonyan and Rope Trick Artist, Brinson ‘Boogerhead’ Harris
Rick will talk about the history of cattle ranching in Florida. A graduate (Journalism) of the University of Florida in 1971, he worked as a reporter at the Orlando Sentinel before enlisting in the Navy.
His novel, a Florida Western Guns of the Palmetto Plains, was published by Pineapple Press 1994. Since its publication, Rick has focused his interest on the history of Florida, particularly its role in the Civil War and its cattle industry.
The recipient of a variety of awards (Florida Magazine Association and the Florida Press Association), Rick was history editor at Halifax Magazine and now works for The DeLand-Deltona Beacon. He grew up farming and ranching in the Panhandle and now lives on a ranch in DeLeon Springs.
Sixteen year old Brinson ‘Boogerhead’ Harris joined his father, rodeo clown Clifton, on the rodeo circuit as "Boogerhead the Rodeo Clown" and is an accomplished rope trick artist.
When not clowning around, he and his parents can be found at their shop called Coffee n' Cream in Micanopy, Florida. Visit www.hollywoodandboogerhead.com
