SUMMARY:Mother Hubble’s Cupboard – Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:Join author Sandra Lindow as she reads from her latest book of poetry. She’ll have books for sale and signing after the reading. \nHer latest: \nMother Hubble’s Cupboard and Other Poems About Inner and Outer Space \n… From macrocosm to microcosm\, even the multiverse\, there are no utopias here. However\, this universe of poems is not without puns\, pie and beer\, together and separately. A bad choice of distraction if you’re hungry\, but worth two utopias in the bush. This collection swings from the gritty to the playful\, sometimes considering physics\, and sometimes using physics to explore humanity\, all the while playing fast and loose with words\, as good poetry should.\n—DAVID KOPASKA-MERKEL\, author of Unwelcome Guests \nIn person or via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Meet the Author - James L. Peters
DESCRIPTION:Meet author James L. Peters and if you ask he’ll read a bit of his book newest book for you. He’ll have all of his books for sale and signing. \n\nThe Dancer and the Swan comes out August 1.\nDeborah Deneaux is dying…\n\n\n​…but hospice volunteer Pauline Swanson won’t let DeeDee’s story die with her.  \nWhat drove DeeDee from her beloved 1960’s New Orleans Creole neighborhood to begin anew in turbulent 1970s San Francisco? What became of her brother after he joined the Black Panthers? How did she end up a single mother in Chicago and retire as a successful business owner?  \nAnd most of all—why is her relationship with her son\, Raymond\, so painfully broken?  \nAs Pauline pieces together DeeDee’s remarkable life\, she’s forced to confront her own. A recovering alcoholic haunted by childhood trauma\, Pauline finds strength in DeeDee’s resilience—strength she’ll need when her own past resurfaces and she’s forced to face what has haunted her dreams.

SUMMARY:Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors
DESCRIPTION:Ever wondered what would happen if you took Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire tale and put it into a blender with Mel Brooks\, Monty Python\, and The 39 Steps? That’s just what happens in this lightning-fast\, laugh-out-loud\, 90-minute\, gender-bending romp. When her sister Mina falls ill with a mysterious disease of the blood\, Lucy Westfeldt and her fiancé\, Jonathan Harker\, enlist the help of famed female vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing. Their hunt for the dangerous and sexy Count Dracula abounds with clever wordplay and quick-change antics. Six actors play over a dozen roles in this bloodcurdlingly hilarious send-up of the literary classic that was an Off-Broadway & West End hit.

SUMMARY:Mr. Prairie Enthusiast - Gary Eldred
DESCRIPTION:We’re proud to present Gary Eldred\, Mr. Prairie Enthusiast. He will share stories of his life and healing\, along with excerpts from his new book. There will be books available for sale and signing. \nIn person or via Zoom \nHealing Wounds: Giving Back to Nature \nBy Gary Eldred with Mark K. Leach\nEldred’s memoirs enthrall as he tells how he learned to heal himself and nature with the help of loving\, caring people. \n  \n  \n  \nGary Eldred\n“Mr. Prairie Enthusiast” was an unlikely leader\, with little formal training but with an intense determination to give back to nature. In 1987\, he founded the Southwest Wisconsin Prairie Enthusiasts. At the time\, the idea of local people organizing themselves to purchase\, restore\, and educate about native fire-adapted ecosystems was a novelty. Building on success\, the organization expanded and rebranded as The Prairie Enthusiasts\, which has enabled thousands of activists to work together to heal nature’s wounds. \nMark Leach\nFor decades\, Dr. Leach has volunteered and worked professionally as a conservation researcher\, land manager\, author\, and educator. Now retired\, he continues to volunteer as Senior Scientist for the Chippewa Savannas Chapter of the Prairie Enthusiasts. In 2025\, he started Leaky Canoe Books to publish Healing Wounds. He’s been friends with Gary Eldred since 1988. \n
