Horton Hears From You!

Horton Hears From You! A call-in talk radio show discussing things affecting Bandon citizens whether local, state, national or world events. Locally-produced by Avery Horton – shoot him an email and let him know what you want discussed!

From the words of the immortal Dr. Seuss:

Horton the Elephant represents kindness, trustworthiness, and perseverance–all wrapped up, thank goodness, in a comical and even absurd package.

Horton hears a cry for help from a speck of dust, and spends much of the book trying to protect the infinitesimal creatures who live on it from the derision and trickery of other animals, who think their elephant friend has gone quite nutty. But worse is in store: an eagle carries away the clover in which Horton has placed the life-bearing speck, and “let that small clover drop somewhere inside of a great patch of clovers a hundred miles wide!”

Horton wins in the end, after persuading the “Who’s” to make as much noise as possible and prove their existence. A comical classic in which we discover that “a person’s a person, no matter how small.”
