A Day in the Park

Did you know that there is a park in Indianapolis, Indiana dedicated to favorite-son, Dan Wakefield? Unfortunately, far few people do know this, so The Charles Bruce Foundation is sponsoring a live book reading of Dan's novel Under the Apple Tree (a novel about growing up during World War II) on Saturday, October 16 from 11 am - 6 pm to promote the book and the park. What's more, if you are in the Indianapolis area at that time, we would love to have you join us as a guest reader. To be a reader, you can request a 10-minute time slot by emailing Max Goller at maxegoller@aim.com with your name, email address, phone number, and top three reading time preferences (available slots currently begin at 12:25 pm and end at 5:45 pm). You will receive a confirmation email for the time allotted to you. When choosing your time, be sure to allow yourself a 30-minute window before your assigned time as all readers will be allowed to use a copy of the book in an on-deck position to prepare for seamless transitions. Readers and spectators are welcome to come and go for any part of the event, or if you want the full joy of a storytime reading, bring your lawn chair, blanket, or other comfortable seating to Dan Wakefield Park, 6051 Broadway St, Indianapolis, IN 46205 as Pat LaMarche kicks things off at 11:00 am.
