Why "Wolf Tree?" According to legend, the Wolf Tree was a lone, prominent tree that once stood in the middle of Marshall. The first settlers in the area sought refuge in the heights of the tree as wolves and bears roamed the dirt lane and forest that would one day become the city's downtown. Later, a platform was built in the large oak's branches where it is said a sentry, seeking the faint glow of wolves' eyes, would hunt, eager to protect the village from threats hidden in the darkness below. It is a wild history, a bold story, and a great homage to the films that will be featured at this exciting annual event.
