Granny D: The Power
of One
On December 31st, 1998, 88-year old Doris Haddock, known
affectionately as “Granny D”, set out to walk across America from a Santa
Monica beach in California to Washington, D.C. She undertook this feat in order to draw
attention to the need for national campaign finance reform and because she
believed that money in politics had betrayed our democracy. She trekked over
1,000 miles of desert, climbed the Appalachian Range in blizzard conditions and
even skied 100 miles after a historic snowfall made roadside walking impossible.
As much as any soldier on the battlefield, she was willing to give her life for
her country’s highest ideals. Actress Dixie Tymitz portrays the character of
Granny D and her incredible journey in this informative re-enactment. Free and
open to all.

Edie Clark: As Simple As That
A woman alone in her mid-life finds a home in a small New
Hampshire town. Divorced, remarried and then widowed, she has a lot of
reckoning to do, a lot of questions to answer, a lot of riddles to solve. She
finds solace in the land around her, the big mountain, the fields and woods and
ponds. Through these essays, written over the span of twenty-five years for
Yankee magazine, she forms a union and a strength that only the natural world can
provide. Join us as Edie Clark reads
from her latest collection of essays. Free and open to all.
