I wanted to encourage everyone in the neighborhood to come out for the Tobacco and Rural Hertitage Festival in Lancaster, Sept. 9-10 (this Friday-Saturday), and stop by my booth to say hello. I'll be near Napier's store on Public Square with my local-history books and back issues of Paint Lick Reflections (which include tons of historical and genealogical information about Garrard and Madison counties). Feel free to set a spell at my booth and read some magazines if you get tired of walking. I'll have a chair to spare. I'll also be selling and signing copies of my new book, Images of America: Garrard County, which includes more than 200 vintage photos of rural Kentucky at its best--Garrard County. If you want to see what rural heritage looks like, pick up the display copy and have a look! And I'll have copies of a church cookbook from the Paint Lick United Methodist Church available to sell. The book has the story about the church's 20-year history of putting on an outdoor Nativity drama at the church. And lots of great recipes, some of them about 100 years old. I'll even have copies of my family history/cookbook from the Nelson County/Marion County/Jefferson County areas. Last, but not least, I'll have a draft of my upcoming Images of America: Garrard County in World War II book, expected to be published early next year by Arcadia Publishing. Hope to see you there! Be sure to say hello and introduce yourself if you come! I'll be happy to take story and photo submissions for the last three issues of Paint Lick Reflections while I'm there. (Sorry, but I won't have a scanner set up, so be sure to bring reprints.) The Spring 2005 edition is available by subscription only. You'll get that one, plus the next three, which are due out October, December, and February. Then I'll be closing down the magazine for a while to pursue some other local-history projects over the next few years. Have a great day!
