Great Gathering in Clinton This Weekend

Hundreds of fans of Edgar Rice Burroughs (ERB) are expected to converge on Clinton from Thursday, Aug. 20 to Sunday, Aug. 23 to celebrate the life and works of Burroughs, who created not only Tarzan, but also the Mars adventurer and warlord John Carter, along with heroes in other genres.

The free, everyone-is-welcome, family-friendly gathering is called a Dum Dum, which means “a great gathering of apes,” and will feature a movie marathon, presentations and demonstrations, lots of stuff for sale, and a Tarzan yell competition.

The Tarzan yell competition will be at 1 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 22, and, like the most of the rest of the weekend, (with the exception of one event, a banquet) it is free.
