These are all free events and workshops from Parisian Phoenix team members:
- On Saturday, May 17, Echo City Capers will be at the Barnes & Noble in the Promenade Shops in Center Valley, Pa., as part of their launch of Tuli Finds a Circle. This whimsical book encourages children to find and embrace their passions— whatever they are. For more information, click here. On Sunday, they will be at the Lehigh Valley Mall Barnes & Noble.
- The networking event and food drive at Greater Lehigh Valley Meals on Wheels has been rescheduled to May 21 due to rain. This Friends of Pete event was originally scheduled for May 14. We are hoping we can still attend (but if not, I still encourage you to check it out). Friends of Pete is an amazing, supporting networking group that gathers at locations at various points of the valley so professionals and entrepreneurs can have meaningful conversations about their work and give/get advice. Stop by Meals on Wheels, 1302 North Sherman St., Allentown, Pa. 18109, between 4 & 7 p.m.
- At the Hellertown Library at 10:30 a.m. May 31, join oral storyteller and author Larry Sceurman and publisher Angel Ackerman for a short, interactive program on how to transform that story you’ve told for years into print. They will discuss deciding on your audience and format, and offer tips for transforming an oral story into formal writing. Even if you don’t think you’re a writer, this is a great way to preserve your personal and family history. Please pre-register for this free workshop: (610) 838-8381.
- At 4 p.m. Sunday, June 1, author Hugo Yelagin will host a launch party for his cosmic horror novel, Deadlights, at downtown Easton’s Book and Puppet Company. Hugo’s debut novel, inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, blends horror and hope as protagonist Maxwell Corvid faces his family legacy— which is also his nightmare. Reserve your copy of the novel through Book & Puppet here.
- On June 7, the Echo City Capers duo will be selling and signing books at Moravian Historical Society Arts & Crafts Festival in Nazareth, Pa. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, click here.
