Book Launch: Don Gayton & Meaghan Hackinen

Come celebrate ecology and travel writing!

Join well-known regional writers Don Gayton and Meaghan Hackinen for a Summerland book launch, presented in partnership with the Ryga Arts Festival. Gayton explores diverse aspects of Okanagan ecology and culture in The Sky and the Patio (New Star Books). Hackinen recounts an epic bicycle trip in South Away (NeWest Press), pedalling from Terrace, BC down to (almost) the tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. Both Gayton and Hackinen have received awards for their writing.

The launch takes place at the Ryga Arts Centre, Tuesday, March 14, beginning at 7:00 pm. Come and meet two engaging and talented writers!

Admission is free and the public is welcome. Books will be available for purchase, and refreshments will be served.
