August 2010

Ahhh, summertime!  Friends, family, hikes, bikes, picnics, iced tea and a good book.  And when you feel like going for a stroll down Main Street, head this way just about any week in August and you will find a host of interesting authors and events to enjoy.  Are you ready??  Here goes....

Saturday, August 7th, 3-5PM.  Award winning local author Margaret Bailey introduces her newest novel, Waves of Amber.  A very personal story of a Vietnamese refugee and the woman who helped him find a new life in a strange land, both lost in their own way and brought together by music.  Margaret is widely known for her earlier award winning novel, A Diamond in the Sky set in Leadville.

Saturday, August 14th, 3-5PM.  Professional chef Alan Roettinger of Monument, CO brings us his newest cookbook, Speed Vegan.  “Alan’s gift for pairing combinations of textures and flavors runs rampant throughout the book”.  Don’t miss this opportunity to meet the chef and sample some fare from his simple and stunning collection of recipes.

Thursday, August 26th, 4-6PM.  The Next Page welcomes Evelyne Tannehill, author of Abandoned and Forgotten, an orphan girl’s tale of survival during World War II.  Evelyne was here last summer to share her incredible story, and has just returned from a year in Poland, lecturing and visiting the sites of her youth.  An amazing opportunity to hear a first hand account of our history.

Sunday, August 29th, 3-5PM.  Here it is!  Drum Roll.... the Breckenridge Music Festival and Applause are pleased to announce their new cookbook, Entertaining! Summit Style.  At long last, our very own Summit County cookbook with over 200 recipes brought to you by your friends and favorite local chefs.  Please join us as we congratulate all who participated it this endeavor.  Come by and say hello to your local celebs, sample some delicious fare and support their cause.  Proceeds will benefit the BMF.

Saturday, September 4th, 3-5PM.  And let’s not leave out our young friends!  Children’s author Lyn Bezek will be here to share her latest story, On the Backs of Burros.  “Despite abuse, ridicule, and torture, this little animal still embodies dignity, trustworthiness and an unconditional affection that is legendary”.  Lyn is known locally for her well-loved previous book, Ribbon the Border Collie.
