Events

Eckley Miners’ Village in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania will have their annual holiday event on the weekend of December 6th and 7th from 11:oo am to 3:00 pm. There will be live music, holiday crafts, photos with Saint Nick, raffle baskets, and a blacksmith. I’ll be giving a book talk about my book “You Dream Every Night That I am Home” (a book filled with the real-life letters of a Civil War soldier from Eckley) on Saturday at 12:00 noon and Sunday at 1:00. And I’ll have a table in the village where I’ll be selling my books and prints of my watercolors of Eckley scenes.

Hope to see you there!

Sunday July 28th, 2024, 12-2PM: Birthday party for the Court House Deer on the lawn of the Luzerne County Courthouse in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Luzerne County and Luzerne County Historical Society celebrated the 157th anniversary of the arrival of the Court House Deer in Wilkes-Barre. I was one of the speakers, and talked about the history of the Deer and my book, “Conversations with the Court House Deer.” The County Council issued a proclamation making July 31st Court House Deer Day.

June 15 & 16, 2024: Eckley Miners’ Village annual Patchtown Days. I gave a book talk at 11AM on Sunday June 16th and for the rest of the event was at a table on Main Street with my books and prints of my artwork of the coal region. There were vendors, performers, great food, and other presentations at the Visitor’s Center. I met a lot of wonderful people and can’t wait for next year’s Patchtown Days!

December 2 & 3, 2023: Book talk and a table with the 3 books in the gift shop at “Christmas at Eckley”. Thank you to everyone at Eckley Miners’ Village who worked so hard to create a such wonderful event!
