Next Thursday, my dear friend William Emery, is reading at the San Joaquin River Parkway series in Fresno, from 6-8 p.m.. This event is PERFECT for everyone involved in 4-H- the book is a glorious, probing series of stories about people in the Central Valley who make things themselves- who milk their own goats, make their own cheese, who keep bees or harvest organic fruit and work the farmer's market every weekend- these are the people you know and love in the Valley. This is a book about local food and what beauty is to be found in the valley; stories garnered from a year's journey visiting farmers, goat herders, cheese and mead makers, livestock auctioneers, painters and orchard dwellers, fishermen and strawberry stand builders. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD, phone tree and forward this email to friends! Come to the reading on Thursday, May 21 at the San Joaquin River Parkway Trust from 6-8 pm and bring something to eat or drink to share- something local, preferably something you handmade. Peach pit. Bottled milk. Tortilla crust. Rind of a salami from Sam's Deli. Grapeleaf pickled in brine. see you there... patricia ********************* Respite by The River with William Emery Thursday, May 21 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. William Emery, author of Edges of Bounty: Adventures in the Edible Valley, will read from and sign copies of his book at Respite by The River, readings and performances related to life in California's Central Valley. Join photographer Scott Squire and writer William Emery as they meander—bewildered, impressionable, and wry—through the roads, back roads, and backwaters of America's greatest agricultural valley. Leaving behind the packaged comforts of supermarkets and restaurants, the pair roamed California's Central Valley in search of "edibilists," or those engaged in the production of their own food. Free and open to the public; for more information call (559) 248-8480, ext. 154 or visit www.riverparkway.org. patricia miye wakida/www.wasabipress.com/559 977 1897 Kat,
