August 9, 2017
This month's book is "Kitchens of the Great Midwest" by J. Ryan Stradal.
When Lars Thorvald's wife, Cynthia, falls in love with wine, and a dashing sommelier,he is left to raise their baby, Eva, on his own. He's determined to pass on his love of food to his daughter--starting with puréed pork shoulder. As Eva grows, she finds her solace and salvation in the flavors of her native Minnesota. From Scandinavian lutefisk to hydroponic chocolate habaneros, each ingredient represents one part of Eva's journey as she becomes the star chef behind a legendary and secretive pop-up supper club, culminating in an opulent and emotional feast that's a testament to her spirit and resilience. Each chapter tells the story of a single dish and character, at once capturing the zeitgeist of the Midwest, the rise of foodie culture, and delving into the ways food creates community and a sense of identity. By turns quirky, hilarious, and vividly sensory, "Kitchens of the Great Midwest" is a mother-daughter story about the bittersweet nature of life from its missed opportunities to its joyful surprises.

August 23, 2017A Vail Public Library favorite, Bettman and Halpin return for an evening of great music. Their concerts combine high energy, upbeat bluegrass/roots inspired compositions, beautiful ballads with soaring vocals and heartfelt lyrics, and feel good songs. The duo has been touring since 2008. Their music creates a fully acoustic, delightfully electric sound far greater than the sum of its parts, taking the listener from up tempo, down home fiddling to soulful, sorrowful ballads, to super hooky folk/pop with catchy melodies and lyrics.
Bettman and Halpin's 5 CDs have received national and international radio play along with critical acclaim.

Tech Studio Rocky Mountain Tales of Survival Rocky Mountain Tales of Survival
–
August 30, 2017Colorado storyteller, Kurtis Kelly, will present an evening of history re-enactments titled “Rocky Mountain Tales of Survival.” This is a free performance suitable for all ages. Among the tales will be true historic tales of pioneers who faced perilous encounters and recalled daring escapes. Homesteader Abner Sprague recounts the 1896 camping trip that left his party lost in a blizzard above timberline. The Earl of Dunraven, while on a hunting expedition, comes face-to-face with a mountain lion. Adventurer and author, Joe Mills, describes a midnight rescue on wind-whipped 14255-foot Longs Peak. A snow-blinded Enos Mills makes a dangerous descent from the Continental Divide. Kelly will also include a brief discussion of the film “The Revenant”, which has helped re-popularize survival narratives, and which has led viewers to wonder about the real-life Hugh Glass, whose life inspired the screenplay.
