To celebrate the publication of the paperback edition of Appetite for America, I’ll be making my first public visit to Fred Harvey’s hometown (I did sneak in and out once years ago to do research). It’ll be a Fredhead field trip to the city’s Harvey Treasures.

Tickets are $20, and include a tour of historic Harvey homes in Leavenworth, a lunchtime talk–including lunch–by Stephen Fried at the Leavenworth County Historical Society, using Harvey family items donated there as show-and-tell, a book signing and a cocktail reception later in the afternoon. Because of the capacity of the LCHS, only a limited number of tickets will be sold–however the book signing at 3:00 and the reception at JW Crancers (cash bar) at 6:30 are open to the public and books will be available for sale.

For Tickets: Contact the Leavenworth County Historical Society, 1128 Fifth Avenue 913.682.7759 or leavenworthhistory@sbcglobal.net.
