Local author, Michael Hofer, will be here to discuss his book Lightning Bugs and The Harvest: A look back at life in the baby boomers beginning years.

Hofer, who grew up in Thornton IL, based this book on his experiences there. This was “A time like none before, prosperity, healing, fear, excitement, new technology, and social frontiers moving. Wars, protests, and rock and roll and more children running around than ever. Discovering and taking on the world, in a small town in the Midwest in the late 1960s while in the last year of childhood.”

There will be a limited number for purchase that day from the author. Proceeds from the sale of Kindle and paperback copies are donated to the Thornton Historical Society.
