Monday, October 1 at 7 PM, The Great American Read Guessing Game. This fun interactive event is based on the PBS Great American Read contest going on until October 18. Readers are asked to vote for their favorite among the 100 books featured on The Great American Read site. Before you look at the list of 100 books and vote for the greatest in your estimation, you can come to this event where we will play a guessing game to find out, without peeking, what worthy works of literature made the cut. Here’s how the game is played: The moderator will call out the name of a book and the audience will applaud if they think it’s on the list or stomp their feet if they think it’s a fake entry. Here’s a preview of some of the contenders: Twilight Saga; 50 Shades of Grey; Gone Girl, The Da Vinci Code, The Hunt for Red October. OK, you are laughing now, because you are sure that none of the above would be named to anyone’s 100 Great Books List. Well, if that’s what you think, you are ready to play! The game will be played on the Honor System, so we will take your word you have not checked over the list ahead of time. There’s only one problem with this game, and that is, it’s the weekly fake event.

In the nineteenth century, American meals were about subsistence, not enjoyment. But as a new century approached, appetites broadened, and David Fairchild, a young botanist with an insatiable lust to explore and experience the world, set out in search of foods that would enrich the American farmer and enchant the American eater. Fairchild's finds weren't just limited to food -- from Egypt he sent back a variety of cotton that revolutionized an industry, and via Japan he introduced the cherry blossom tree, forever brightening America's capital.
