Carnegie Public Library of Steuben County - 2 Talks
I am still digging up my lists from the first four years of doing talks. Here's a few that I can recall off the top of my head! I've visited many of the schools every year for the last four to five years. It has been quite an honor to meet so many wonderful teachers, school administrators, librarians, and, of course, STUDENTS! I've also done presentations at different events and some of those are listed here as well.
Indianapolis Boat, Sport, and Travel Show - over 20 talks in 10 days.
