Event details here. \nFrom Mike: \nI’ve known Frank Bures for years. He’s a brave and terrific writer. By brave\, I mean he’s gone after stories in places and ways I’d never dare. He also once nearly died in a canoeing incident and (barely) lived to tell (write) about it. I too once flipped a canoe\, but I just lost my tent (well\, it wasn’t my tent\, whoops) (also the canoe got bent) (it wasn’t my canoe\, whoops). I hope you can join us for this event–we’ll share the stories behind the stories in Frank’s new book\, reveal secrets behind the red-hot glory of the freelance writing life (we’ve both been at it for years)\, and take some questions we are likely under-qualified to answer. All in the cozy setting of the well-stocked Local Store. \nIn the thrilling new collection\, Pushing the River\, the award-winning writer Frank Bures tells true stories as varied as the waters\, weather\, and rhythms of a canoe trip. From the terror of two kayakers who barely escaped from the 2011 Pagami Creek Fire in the Boundary Waters to two young campers who had a supernatural scare in Canada’s Quetico Provincial Park in the 1970s to the author’s own incredible near-death rescue\, Bures narrates the full range of what it means to push the river. You can grab a copy here. \nThe heart of the book is a telling of the lost history of the Paul Bunyan Canoe Derby\, an annual 450-mile race run on the Upper Mississippi in the 1940s and 1950s that gave canoe-racing legend Gene Jensen his start—and which changed the course of modern canoeing. The tale includes the dominance of racers from the Leech Lake Indian Reservation\, including many members of the Tibbetts family\, and the unacknowledged contributions of Ojibwe canoe builders Jim and Bernie Smith\, whose design features are now part of contemporary canoe racing. \nPushing the River is essential reading for anyone who loves what legendary canoeist Bob O’Hara called “the sense of perpetual adventure” that comes in the seat of a canoe\, where you never quite know what you will encounter around the river’s next bend. \nFrank Bures is an award-winning writer whose work has appeared in Harper’s\, Outside\, The Atlantic\, and many other publications. His stories have been included in The Best American Travel Writing anthologies. He lives in Minneapolis. \n  \n  URL:https://sneezingcow.com/event/michael-perry-joins-frank-bures-in-a-conversation-at-the-volume-one-local-store/ LOCATION:Volume One | The Local Store\, 205 N.

The band is crackerjack (does anybody still say “crackerjack”?!?!)\, ripping it up on the solos and bridges when ripping it up is called for\, and laying in just the quiet note or accent when that better suits the mood. Sometimes they whoop it up\, sometimes they soup it up\, and sometimes they go soft and slow\, drawing the entire room into the delicate cocoon of a shared human moment. Mike knows some chords and mainly just strums. But he does write the songs (with the exception of the band’s only cover tune\, “Waymore’s Blues”) and sing’em\, so that’s why he stands there in the middle. As with Mike’s written work (a back catalog of 20-plus books) a Long Beds show blends powerful poetics\, homespun humor\, and a feeling like you’re rolling country roads in jeans and a pickup truck\, giggling one minute\, getting misty the next\, now and then whooping out the window\, and above all feeling like you’re riding with friends who mean it. \nTickets range between $33.14 – $39.77. \nTickets can be purchased here. \nDoors open: 6:30 PM\nShow starts: 7:30 PM \nAll ages welcome to attend. \nMike will meet and greet fans\, and sign merchandise after the show. \nJAMF Theater at Pablo Center\n128 Graham Avenue\nEau Claire\, WI 54701 URL:https://sneezingcow.com/event/michael-perry-and-the-long-beds-return-to-the-jamf-theater/ LOCATION:JAMF Theater\, 128 Graham Avenue\, WI\, 54701\, United States CATEGORIES:Long Beds Concerts ORGANIZER;CN="Sneezing Cow Crew":MAILTO:mailinglist@sneezingcow.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250122T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250122T140000 DTSTAMP:20250108T062235Z CREATED:20250108T062235Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250108T062235Z UID:34485-1737543600-1737554400@sneezingcow.com SUMMARY:Keynote Speaker: Private Event DESCRIPTION:Private Event.

Show begins at 3:30 PM. \nLong before he was writing bestselling books\, playing music\, and filming television specials like Michael Perry: On the Road\, Mike was growing up on a New Auburn farm (where he learned such life lessons as Never Stand Behind A Sneezing Cow) and going from kindergarten to graduation at New Auburn elementary and high school (T-R-O-J-A-N-S!). He liked old pickup trucks but was never good at fixing them\, he liked playing football but was pretty slow\, and he wasn’t much of a farmer\, so he wandered off and somehow wound up making a living traveling\, singing\, and telling stories. But through it all\, he’s always been grateful to be of and from New Auburn\, Wisconsin–so he’s real happy to to bringing his humorous stories and his band to the New Auburn gym for a show to help raise some money for a community cause. Whether you’re from Nobbern* or not\, we hope you’ll join us. \n*Some spell it NAUBURN\, N’AUBURN\, N’OBBERN…bet we all know where yer talkin’ about. \n$5.00 admission.
