Book Celebration in Port Elgin

The Brucedale Press and Northern Flyer Design will jointly celebrate the publication of BRUCE Day by Day with a reception, art display, and signing in Port Elgin on Thursday, September 23.

Recently launched, BRUCE Day by Day presents an everyday look at Bruce
County's heritage. "It's history in day-book format," says artist Kenneth L. Thornburn of Tara. Ken created more than 50 drawings used for each week's page spread in the book, including a map of the county. The County crest and tartan appear in full colour, courtesy of Bruce County Council.

Researcher and writer Anne Duke Judd of Saugeen Shores compiled the facts and tidbits for each day. She moved to Bruce County forty years ago this month, and says, "As soon as I arrived, my curiosity sent me looking for stories about the people and communities here."

The book has 112 pages, with space under each date to add family occasions. It works in any year--including leap year. With printing and binding by Terry Murphy of County Squire Printery in Chesley, it's a made-in-Bruce production from start to finish.

Everyone is welcome to celebrate with the artist and author from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at The Brucedale Press sales office, 682 Goderich Street in downtown Port Elgin.
