The author of Positively Fifth Street, and Physical, delves into the history of poker from its roots in China, the Middle East and Europe to its ascent as a global--but especially an American--phenomenon. McManus explains how early Americans took a French parlor game and, with a few extra cards, by the end of the Civil War, turned it into a national craze. From the kitchen-table games of ordinary citizens to its influence on generals and diplomats, poker has gone hand in hand with our national experience.

Bring your knitting and join us for a cozy afternoon event with bestselling author Kate Jacobs. Her latest, Knit the Season, is a celebration of special times with friends and family. The story begins a year after the end of Knit Two, with Dakota Walker's trip to Scotland to spend the Christmas holidays with her Gran. She's accompanied by her father, grandparents, and her mother's best friend, Catherine. From Thanksgiving through Haunukkah and Christmas to New Year's, Knit the Season is a story about the richness of family bonds and the joys of friendship. 

Kate is working with Warming Families and Land's End
to collect hats for families as she travels during her book tour so if
you're a knitter now is a great time to get started on the official pattern for the hat drive (opens as PDF) or something of your own creation to bring to the event. We will donate the hats we collect at our event to Ozaukee Family Services.  

Join Cedarburg native Nancy Olmsted as she shares her son's legacy, his collected thoughts and reflections on the Iraq war from the new book, A Soldier's Words. Nancy's son, Major Andrew Olmsted, kept a blog during his tour of duty in Iraq and many of the posts were published in Denver's paper, the Rocky Mountain News. His posts describe the day-to-day events--funny, boring, dangerous, frustrating--that ultimately become satisfying as he and his men come to understand the local Iraqi culture and establish a friendly working relationship with the Iraqi men they are training. As time passes, Major Olmsted develops a deep understanding of the pros and cons of the war and his part in it. 

As the holidays draw near, many of us enjoy planning dinner parties for our friends and family. Some of us, swept up in the spirit of the season, have grand plans only to realize we don't have a clue how to plan a dinner party. Linda Mutschler can help! Linda will offer hints and tips from her book, Fast Track to Fine Dining, in which she explains the ins and outs of planning a multi-course party from start to finish. In her presentation Linda will also touch on the history of dining customs and traditions throughout the ages, providing a fascinating look at our connection to the past and how we are shaping new traditions in our homes today.

The 2008 football season was one of transition for the Green Bay Packers and their legion of loyal fans. For the first time in seventeen years, the team was entering the season without three-time MVP Brett Favre. After a whirlwind summer of rumor and controversy, Packers management traded Favre to the New York Jets, leaving “Packer Backers” worldwide to cope with life after Favre and now, cope with his presence on the Vikings. Wisconsin native Phil Hanrahan spent the 2008 season in Green Bay talking to fans, players, and in Life After Favre, recounts his experiences in Packerland with wit, energy, humor and color.
