SUMMARY:September Book Discussion: Fever in the Heartland
DESCRIPTION:Join us Thursday\, September 28 @ 5pm to discuss “A Fever in the Heartland” by Timothy Egan! Books are available for pick up\, but supply is limited. Please take a book if you plan on participating. \nThe Roaring Twenties was the height of the KKK in the Heartland. D.C. Stephenson\, a charismatic man who rose to power quickly\, was the mastermind behind bringing the group out of the shadows as their message was proudly endorsed from church pulpits\, family picnics\, and town celebrations. However\, it was a seemingly insignificant woman who revealed his secret cruelties and brought the KKK to their knees.

SUMMARY:Family Heirloom Recipes from the Illinois State Fair with Catherine Lambrecht
DESCRIPTION:This event will count toward your Summer Reading Program! \nSince 2009\, Catherine Lambrecht has judged Family Heirloom Recipes contests on behalf of Greater Midwest Foodways in Illinois as well as Indiana\, Iowa\, Kansas\, Ohio\, Minnesota\, Missouri\, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Contestants would enter their best scratch family heirloom recipe suitable for a family or community dinner. The recipe should have originated 50 years ago or earlier. Contestants would bring to the fair a prepared dish along with a history of who passed the recipe down to them. \nThis presentation offers an opportunity to follow the judging experience by providing the histories and recipes presented as submitted at the Illinois State Fair (2009-2019) with pictures of the food as presented at the fair. The foods were sometimes submitted simply in their transport container\, or more elaborately on the family’s china with relevant props of family pictures\, kitchen paraphernalia and their loved one’s handwritten recipe. \nCatherine will highlight the wonderful stories she has collected over the years as an expert culinary judge. Some examples include: \n\nHow a contestant wanted a judge to settle a long-held family argument about which is better: green or white asparagus soup?\nA right of passage as young boy’s pet pig may be his breakfast\nDueling pasta salads from the church and community dinner circuit\nAn Italian-American family circling a cutting board mounded with polenta and meat sauce ready to dig in\nA family of mushroom collectors preserve their old country traditions\n\nIf Catherine inspires you to document a family favorite recipe to share with loved ones\, then she has accomplished her mission. \nAll recipes are provided as presented to preserve their historical integrity. Some of these recipes originated when oven temperatures were difficult to regulate\, or temperature was taken literally by hand: stick your hand in the oven chamber and count the seconds before your hand cannot tolerate it. \nThe original histories and recipes collected will be archived with the University of Michigan Library Special Collections Research Center at the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archives in Ann Arbor.
