What a blast!

I was expecting about 25 people to be in attendance for tonight’s presentation on the book at the People’s Winery. But we ended up with a standing-room only crowd of about 40!


After calming my nerves a bit with a couple glasses of wine, the presentation went really well. The crowd really responded with a lot of enthusiasm. Afterward, I signed cards for folks to insert into the books they plan to order in advance, and others said they would wait until I come back for a book release party once the books are printed and distributed. 


Bridgewater Catering’s Kado Downs came through on short notice with a beautiful selection of meats, cheeses, fruits, and desserts. I spent about an hour after the presentation talking with a number of local historians and dignitaries (including Logansport mayor Mike Fincher).  


Also, it looks like I might do doing the local radio show, “Talk of the Town,” Thursday morning (more details to come on that once I work out the details).


And for an added bonus of coincidence: I was talking to a couple just before starting the presentation who had made the 30-minute drive from Kokomo just for the event. Turns out, the man was my girlfriend Della’s English literature teacher in High School in Kokomo, who just happened to be married to a Logansport native and the two are members of the Historical Society!


I'm pretty much exhausted and looking forward to tomorrow when I have no events planned so I can just be lazy. The next presentation is Thursday at the Library, so we’ll see how it goes when I’m completely stone sober!
