Yes, that's our count for MY STORY MATTERS -- and we can hardly wait. An amazing number of people are giving time, food, skills, wisdom ... and 152 students have registered.
Even the arrival time in the morning will be full of things to do and see, as Melody Walker has offered to bring some of her Wabenaki clothing and other items; Joanne Bertrand will share her latest research at a display table; and the indomitable and ever-reading Kim Crady-Smith sets up her own bookstore, Green Mountain Books, in both the lobby and the cafeteria.
The Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium has a special partnership role in Jenny Mackenzie's "Listening for Secrets" -- I promised not to reveal details ahead of time, but oh wow!
Special news: Due to a flood of enrollment for Lauren Anderson's "In the Kitchen with History" presentation, Beth Kanell (that's me!) will give a session on "Baker's Tips for History Kitchens" at the same time as Lauren's first session. We'll sample hardtack (yes, in the picture here!), cornbread, biscuits, and rolls; go over how "leavening" has changed; check how to adapt old-time recipes; and more.
