book signing with Fred First on June 4
Jacksonville Center To Host Book Signing by Local Author, Fred First
The Jacksonville Center is pleased to host a reading and book signing by local author, Fred First, on Sunday, June 4 from 4pm to 6pm., in the Center’s Community Room.
IF you live in or long for the southern mountains…
IF you are drawn toward the pace and pleasures of unhurried, out-of-the-way places…
IF you hope for a home you are waiting to find, then you will feel at home in the pages of this "memoir of place", Slow Road Home ~ a Blue Ridge Book of Days by Fred First.
With a naturalist's curiosity, a photographer's eye, and the heart of one who knows that he is living at last where he belongs, Fred First invites the reader to join him on a field trip through time and place.
On Sunday the author will be reading from and signing his new book, with a reception to follow. Copies will be available for purchase with $4 of each sale to be donated to The Jacksonville Center. Attendees can also sign up for a drawing for a free copy of the book.

The Jacksonville Center is a member-based, charitable nonprofit cultural arts center that houses a cultural business incubator artists-in-residence program, an art gallery, a retail shop, a large community room available for short term rentals and a variety of classes designed for both the regional community and the visiting public.
