This project has great collaborations covering four different counties over a three-month period. Program includes distributing Nick Adams Stories book kits through the four participating libraries, holding book discussions, a Hemingway film series, scholar-led discussions, fly-tying workshops, a dramatic reading of a Hemingway short story, a photo presentation of the natural history of the Great Lakes, a historic exhibit of fishing and hunting artifacts from the time period of the Nick Adams Stories, and a concert by the blue grass band, “Catching Steel.” The “Up North with the Hemingways” exhibit is also scheduled for display in April 2008 at the Peter White Public Library.
