About Little Brown Jug Memories

Part I – Hearing Their Memories

Two presenters, Roger Huston, the long-time announcer, and Jay Wolf, unofficial historian of the race, will describe their experiences and comment on the significance of the race for our community.

• Roger Huston has been “The Voice” of the Little Brown Jug since 1967. A native of Xenia, Ohio, Huston is a member of the LBJ’s Wall of Fame and the Harness Racing Hall of Fame.
• Jay Wolf is a life-long resident of Delaware and has been in the Jug’s Publicity Department since 2003. Wolf has covered Ohio harness racing for several industry publications.

Part II – Sharing Your Memories

For the second part of the Program, Audience Members will be telling their own stories about the race. These stories will be captured as part of the Little Brown Jug Oral History Project.

Bring your Mementos

In addition, we want audience members to bring mementos (photographs, programs, and so on) of the Jug that can be added to the DCHS collection. Members of the Collections Committee will be available one hour before the program’s start (6 – 7 pm) to document the donations.
