Culinary journey to party writings of Mark Twain
Keokuk’s Community Cultural Business, which includes The Keokuk Open Library, The Keokuk Art Middle and The Lee County Past Society, announces plans for the 2007 Moveable Feast. This year’s culinary journey is based on a number of novels by former Keokuk resident, Samuel Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Smear Twain). The event will be held on Saturday, June 16.
Participants are invited to stop by three notable Keokuk homes which will be tinted to illustrate one of Twain’s novels. Each home will have a splendid buffet and refreshments also brilliant the novels.
The next homes will be open from 6:30 - 9 p.m.;
Al and Pat Zastrow - Auntie Polly’s House, 710 N. Seventh St.
Bob Woodburn and Janet Smith - Camelot, 801 Grand Avenue.
The Grand Anne Bread and Breakfast - “The Commander’s Table,” 816 Grand Road, also featuring a performance by Chuck Mitchell depicting Stephen Foster.
All of the place are within a two building block area.
A individual feature of the evening will be a visit to Aunty Polly’s House by Dyad typeset, Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher, played by Emily Yarbrough and David Colborn of Hannibal, Mo.; and fiddle on period by Kirk Brandenberger, Keokuk director of tourism.
From 9 to 10 p.m, pudding and bubbly will be served in the Around Space of the Keokuk Public Library-Keokuk Art Centre, 210 N. Fifth St. Afters are being provided by the Lee County Past Society.
At that time, name calling will be pinched for several door prizes, including: artist collages by Barb Parady which will be displayed at the homes; and a certificate for a copy of “The Adventures of Thomas Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass,” a book by Blot Twain, currently being republished by The Keokuk Public Documentation Base.
