FORMER ERactor Anthony Edwards and Steven Kellogg, children's book artist and author, will visit the University of Findlay Saturday for a celebration honoring Kellogg's work.

In July, the Mazza Museum at the University of Findlay acquired 2,700 pieces of original art by Kellogg, in part through a $350,000 gift from Edwards, a childhood friend of Kellogg.

A public presentation is slated for 7 p.m. in Winebrenner Theological Seminary.

Tickets are $5 and are available by calling the museum at 419-434-5521. Kellogg has written or collaborated on about 120 books, including Island of the Skog, Johnny Appleseed, A Rose for Pinkerton, How Much is a Million, and The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash.
