Online Event
Join Maya Camille Broussard, star of Netflix’s Bake Squad, and owner of Chicago based Justice of the Pies for a demo from her kitchen just in time for Thanksgiving. She will share her love of pie, the stories of those that inspired her, and some tips and tricks to help you make the perfect Thanksgiving pie.
Broussard uses her love of food to have a positive impact on the local community. She offers an “I Knead love” workshop several times each year for kids from low-income households to learn basic cooking skills, healthy eating habits, and nutrition. Justice of the Pies has partnered with many Chicago area charities to provide meals for communities on the South and West sides. During the COVID pandemic, her bakery partnered with Frontline Food to provide food from restaurants for front-line workers. Being hearing impaired, Broussard works hard to set an example for young bakers by telling the story of her struggles and success.
This event is made possible by Illinois Libraries Present, a statewide collaboration among public libraries offering premier events.

In Person Event. Registration Required.
The Great Chicago Fire: A Phoenix from the Ashes In October of 1871, the city of Chicago burned for two days, destroying
thousands of buildings, and killing an estimated 300 people. Listen as Terry Lynch, as Patrick O’Leary, will discuss the theories surrounding the start of the fire, as well as the aftermath. Was Patrick’s wife, an Irish immigrant named Catherine O’Leary to blame? Could it have been someone else?
Could it have been a meteorite? In the aftermath of the blaze, the reconstruction of the city quickly led to an era of unsurpassed economic
development and population growth. Hear how this growth led to, among other things, the construction of a new urban center, as well as a new style
of architecture.
This program is sponsored by the Peotone Public Library District. The presentation will be held at the Heritage Center in Monee (the old creamery building at Fireman’s park), the beautifully restored mid-19th century building is the perfect location for this spooktacular historical event. Thank you to the Monee Historical Society for providing this historic venue!
Monee Historical Society 5210 W. Court Street

old to learn something new about history’s most interesng, inspirational figures. His one man interactive presentations give
