July

• Saturday, July 11, 10 AM-noon - Russ Vernon, author of the West Point Market Cookbook, brings his book AND the executive chef of the West Point Market to the Hudson Farmers Market. He'll be talking about and signing his book, while the chef does a cooking demo with some of the local produce!

• Tuesday, July 21, 7 PM - Baseball legend Bob Feller will be at the Hudson Library to sign his new book, Bob Feller's Little Blue Book of Baseball Wisdom.
  

  From hard-working farm boy growing up in post-WWI Van Meter, Iowa, to the youngest All-Star and longest-lived Hall of Famer, sharp-witted Bob Feller distills nine decades of hard-earned wisdom - gleaned from experiences both on and off the diamond - in his new Little Blue Book of Baseball Wisdom, a sequel to his best-selling Little Black Book of Baseball Wisdom. Feller writes tellingly of the stars of his generation, but also shares the essential virtues which made him so successful - life lessons he learned from his father, who, eager to showcase his son's baseball talent, built a "field of dreams" on their Iowa farm when Feller was still a teen, lessons he learned fighting for his country in WWII, and lessons he learned subsequent to his baseball career. Is he opinionated? You decide. When Negro League baseball star Buck O'Neil failed to get voted into the Hall of Fame, Feller said, "What the hell do [these committee members] know about baseball? I know more about Aristotelian metaphysics and string theory than they do about baseball." It's gems like this that make "the Heater from Van Meter" one of the most respected voices in the game, and make Bob Feller's Little Blue Book of Baseball Wisdom a book no baseball fan, of any age or any era, will want to be without.
