Galena LitFest: Brunch with Laura Ingalls Wilder

In celebration of the eleventh annual Galena LitFest, the Galena Public Library, is thrilled to announce the return of Debra Miller, who will portray Laura Ingalls Wilder in the Grant Park Pavilion on Sunday, May 18 at 11 am. Tickets include a box lunch provided by Galena Bakehouse and beverages provided by Galena Roasters Coffee Shop.

The Little House books are a beloved literary phenomena, with hundreds of thousands of fans from all over the world, but Laura Ingalls Wilder said "All I have told is true, but it is not the whole truth". Through her letters, journals and original text of Pioneer Girl, Laura speaks to you in her own words of the hardship, heartbreaks and harrowing events that inspired the Little House books.
