His book\, The Connecticut 169 Club: Your Passport and Guide to Exploring Connecticut\, encourages travelers to visit all the towns and villages of our beautiful and unique state. \nMarty will discuss his collaboration with individuals from each town in writing the book\, who offered highlights of their town’s history\, interesting places to visit\, and local attractions. He also incorporates a fun contest with audience participation to see if they know the location of pictures of interesting places in towns. \nPodskoch created this book as a guide and a passport. It has a space for travelers to journal about their experiences and a place to get the book stamped or signed by a resident or business …. or LOCAL LIBRARY! Travelers will get to know the locals\, perhaps learn about a good place to eat or an interesting local attraction and learn a lot about Connecticut and its residents in the process. \nPeople who visit all 169 towns will receive the “Leatherman Award” patch at a luncheon or dinner held at a different town each year. The award is named after the vagabond who lived in caves and traveled a route regularly (approx. 34 days) from the Connecticut River to the Hudson River during the late 1800s. \nBooks will be available for purchase at the event. \nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Series: How Judy Blume Rewrote Childhood for All of Us with Author Rachelle Bergstein
DESCRIPTION:How Judy Blume Rewrote Childhood for All of Us with Author Rachelle Bergstein\nWednesday\, May 21\, 2:00 pm via digital live stream \nREGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nYou’re invited to an online intimate conversation with bestselling author Rachelle Bergstein as she chats about her newest book The Genius of Judy. This book takes an expansive look at Judy Blume’s life\, work\, and cultural impact\, focusing on her most iconic—and controversial—young adult novels\, from Are You There God? It’s Me\, Margaret to Blubber. \nEveryone knows Judy Blume. \nHer books have garnered her fans of all ages for decades and sold tens of millions of copies. But why were people so drawn to them? And why are we still talking about them now in the 21st century? \nIn The Genius of Judy\, her remarkable story is revealed as never before\, beginning with her as a mother of two searching for purpose outside of her home in 1960s suburban New Jersey. The books she wrote starred regular children with genuine thoughts and problems. But behind those deceptively simple tales\, Blume explored the pillars of the growing women’s rights movement\, in which girls and women were entitled to careers\, bodily autonomy\, fulfilling relationships\, and even sexual pleasure. Blume wasn’t trying to be a revolutionary—she just wanted to tell honest stories—but in doing so\, she created a cohesive\, culture-altering vision of modern adolescence. \nBlume’s bravery provoked backlash\, making her the country’s most-banned author in the mid-1980s. Thankfully\, her works withstood those culture wars and it’s no coincidence that Blume has resurfaced as a cultural touchstone now. Young girls are still cat-called\, sex education curricula are getting dismissed as pornography\, and entire shelves of libraries are being banned. As we face these challenges\, it’s only natural we look to Blume\, the grand dame of so-called dirty books. This is the story of how a housewife became a groundbreaking artist\, and how generations of empowered fans are her legacy\, today more than ever. \nRegister now for a conversation you don’t want to miss! \nAbout the Author: Rachelle Bergstein is a lifestyle writer\, author\, and editor\, focused on style\, pop culture\, and families. Her work has appeared in the New York Post\, The New York Times\, NPR\, and more. She is the author of three books: Women from the Ankle Down\, Brilliance and Fire\, and The Genius of Judy. She lives with her husband and son in Brooklyn. Find out more at RachelleBergstein.com.
