Memorial Day started in Boalsburg you know. Yes, in 1864 the first wreaths were laid at soldiers graves in the graveyard of Zion Lutheran Church. Today, the town absolutely bustles with activity! I’ll be in front of my house at 203 E. Main St. with my book, going LOCAL! The book is almost sold out – barely 200 copies left.

Volume 2 will be arriving later this year and will continue the adventure!

Pre-order Now.

Thanks!

What a better way to spend an autumn day, than high on the southern slope of Mt. Nittany sipping wine (and buying a really cool book). There, nestled among the vines, is a chalet filled with over 20 varieties of really yummy wines. From red to white, dry to sweet, you’ll find a wine that will embrace your tongue and warm your heart.

Please join me this weekend, Oct. 24 and 25, as Mount Nittany Vineyard and Winery celebrates their 7th Annual Harvest Festival with free tastings, tours, local food artisans, and music. I’ll be there with my book, and if you can get me away from the tasting bar, I’ll be happy to sell you a copy or two. going LOCAL! makes a great gift for that person who’s hard to buy for, loves to eat, enjoys good beer, supports local businesses, digs roads trips, is adventurous, or is just sick of living in the basement of their mother’s house and needs to get out once in a while.

Thank you so much to all those who stopped by my table at Herwig's Austrian Bistro this past Arts Fest 2009!  Thank you to Herwig's! It was a huge success for both.

Brandy, Gundi and Bernd Brandstatter along with Eric, "Balls," Justin and the gang treated me like a movie star and fed me like a king! I helped by eating their amazing food right out at my table which people stopped and wanted to know where it came from. I directed them inside and they were hooked! If you've never eaten at Herwig's, you're missing some of thee best food around. Made fresh from scratch every day, I dare you to find its equal here or abroad.

I sold a pile of books and had a great time. The weather was awesome and many of those who had purchased my book before stopped to pay me wonderful compliments!

My email about books being banned at both area arts fests sparked a huge response so I imagine you'll see authors and their "works of art" represented somewhere next year. I think i might just stay at Herwig's :^)

Please stop by Herwig's and support a family that supports the arts and our community. I love them and thank them sincerely.

Friday July 3rd, the cool folks of the downtown market have invited me to come hang out with them and have the opportunity to sell my book. Nice!

Please come and support our local farmers and your favorite local author :^) Buy some fresh food and pick up a really cool book about Unique Eats, Cool Pubs & Cozy Cafés of Central PA. My book makes a great gift, and with summer day trips as a way to offset the costs of big vacations, it’s a perfect travel companion.

I’ll be near the top of the market (hopefully near the Amish homemade ice cream).

Book Signing Event & Beer Tasting to Benefit the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society

Craft brew festivals have become very popular around the country. Locally, we have some great ones including the second annual fest called Pints for Pets. This year, in conjunction with the Altoona Curve and to benefit the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society, I’ll be there selling my book and promoting my two new ones alongside an amazing 50+ craft breweries from all over the planet (I love my job!)

The festival will take place this Saturday, May 30, with Session 1 from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm and Session 2 from 4:30 pm to 7:30 pm at the Blair County Ballpark. It completely sold out last year so I recommend you act NOW!

Please join me and come out to the ballpark to enjoy some of the finest craft brews around, buy my book or pre-order the new ones, and help our little furry friends in need (the best part)!

Meow,
Ken

I’ve just been given a great opportunity to serve our community and help the cause of public broadcasting, while at the same time spreading the word about my books! WPSU needs a group to be on-air phone volunteers during a special campaign to raise funds for their broadcasting. It seems contributions were down this spring and we need to help them! In return, they will plug the group on-air and via their website. This is chance to get going LOCAL! some air time and maybe plug the two upcoming books. But, I can't do it alone.

Please, please, please consider coming onboard to help. You’ll be doing a good deed for my book AND our community – great combo! Go the link below, download the file to read what it’s all about it, them email me asap to let me know you’re in. They need to know soon. I need only eight of you.

Thank you & keep going LOCAL!
