Author Event: Kate Beasley presents ‘Gertie’s Leap to Greatness’
In this hilarious and heartfelt middle grade debut, Gertie is a girl on a mission to be the best fifth grader ever in order to show her estranged mother that Gertie doesn’t need her–not one bit!
Gertie Reece Foy is 100% Not-From-Concentrate awesome. She has a daddy who works on an oil rig, a great-aunt who always finds the lowest prices at the Piggly Wiggly, and two loyal best friends. So when her absent mother decides to move away from their small town, Gertie sets out on her greatest mission yet: becoming the best fifth grader in the universe to show her mother exactly what she’ll be leaving behind. There’s just one problem: Seat-stealing new girl Mary Sue Spivey wants to be the best fifth grader, too. And there is simply not enough room at the top for the two of them.
From author Kate Beasley, and with illustrations by Caldecott Honor artist Jillian Tamaki, Gertie’s Leap to Greatness is a classic tale of hope and homecoming that will empty your heart, then fill it back up again–one laugh at a time.

Earth Day – ART in The Gardens!
Earth Day at the Peace Gardens means ART!
Please join us as we finish the new “found object fence” along the front of the gardens. We’ll be using found metal objects to create a community-built masterpiece that welcomes visitors into this special space. Focus will be on creating a magical botanical specimen, so think flowers and plants…and we’ll also do some work in the gardens themselves for those who prefer sinking their hands in the Earth.
We’ll be providing tools, tunes, libations, and wood-fired pizzas to fuel all of the contributors! Feel free to bring pizza toppings, sides, or drinks to share. The fire pit will be crackling for those who want to chill by the fire.
Hope to see you then!

At each yard sale, people wanting to sell items can set up a spot for free. The yard sales are limited to members of the community and are not open to professional vendors.
