Aug. 27: Two Bryony-Related Events (Plus More to Come)

From noon to 4 p.m. on August 27, "Bryony" will be part of the Three Rivers Arts Council's (TRAC) open house, as part of Minooka's Summerfest. TRAC recently opened a community center in Minooka's former fire station on Mondamin Road. We'll have displays, a photo slide show, and plenty of information to share. For more information, email us at BryonySeries@gmail.com.

Then, at 6:30 p.m., James Onohan will play the "Curl Kids Fundraiser," a comedy dinner show, at Harwood Post American Legion, 705 S. Larkin Avenue, Joliet. Dinner/show package tickets are $25; while show package is $15. The event includes silent and live auctions. All proceeds will be donated to the Curl children.

Their father, a single father, was recently diagnosed with lupus coagulant, more formally known as antiphospholipid syndrome, which causes blood clots to form in arteries and veins. He also suffers from colon cancer. Please come support this worthy cause!!! For more information: 815-725-4333.

Then, from 1 to 4 p.m. September 11, James Onohan and I will be featured at the monthly Victorian Tea at the P. Seth Magosky Museum of Victorian Life, 206 N. Broadway Avenue, Joliet, IL. Tickets are $10 at the door and include a museum tour and refreshments. For more information: 815-723-3052.

Last, but certainly not least, "Vamp Fest: Travel Through Time With 'Bryony'" will be from 6 to 11 p.m. Oct. 14. Although this is a Bryony-themed fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties (www.bbbswillgrundy.org), there is a very good chance that "Bryony" and its companion cookbook, will also be released by that date.

We orginally planned to take pre-orders, since the book would not be released until later this year, so cross your fingers that everything works out!

"Vamp Fest" will also include "bites and nibbles" from the cookbook, 1970s and classical-style piano music (thanks to teen band Street Worthy and James Onohan), and other members of the Bryony team offering Bryony-related and other product.

Stay tuned for details!
