Author Talk and Book Signing: Mel Allen’s Here in New England

In this audiovisual presentation, editor emeritus of Yankee magazine Mel Allen will offer highlights from his new book, Here in New England: Unforgettable Stories of People, Places, and Memories That Connect Us All. After the talk, Allen will inscribe personalized messages in copies of Here in New England. Flying Pig Bookstore will be onsite to sell copies of the Here in New England and will donate 10% of sale proceeds to support the Shelburne Food Shelf. Join us for an evening of deeply personal stories that paradoxically remind us, in Allen’s words, of the “common humanity that has always been part of the New England landscape.”

Free and open to the public.

Advance registration recommended.
