We're thrilled to be hosting Anne Thalheimer in the evening of Easthampton's BookFest activities to read excerpts from her publication, “So, You’re a Ref?”

"Anne Thalheimer is an artist and educator based in Holyoke, and she's been a roller derby referee for the past ten years. Last year, she published "So...You're A Ref?" about the experience, including unruly skaters, mouthy bench coaches, mishaps and hurricanes, traveling with skates, afterparty mayhem, and other various hilarity. Join us as she reads from her book and talks about roller derby; bonus points if you've just come from Pioneer Valley Roller Derby's season opener in Florence!”

Anne will be in our studio April 14th from 8:30 pm - 10:30 pm, following the Pioneer Valley Roller Derby's Season Opener. We will however have copies of her publication on display and available for purchase throughout the day.

We will be serving light hors d'oeuvres and beverages during her reading time.
