SUMMARY:Fireside Book Club - July
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Book Club!\nHosted by Fireside on the second Wednesday of the month.\nWe are an exploratory book club and aim to read many different genres. If you are looking to get out of your comfort zone\, stop on by and join in our discussion!\nOur Book Club Pick for the month is The Genius of Judy by Rachelle Bergstein for the genre ‘biography’.\nAbout the Book:\nThis “lively and important portrait of a true literary revolutionary” (Los Angeles Times) explores Judy Blume’s life\, work\, and cultural impact\, focusing on her most iconic–and controversial–young adult novels\, from Are You There God? It’s Me\, Margaret to Blubber.\nEveryone knows Judy Blume.\nHer books have garnered her fans of all ages for decades and sold tens of millions of copies. But why were people so drawn to them? And why are we still talking about them now in the 21st century?\nIn The Genius of Judy\, her remarkable story is revealed as never before\, beginning with her as a mother of two searching for purpose in 1960s suburban New Jersey. The books she wrote starred regular children with genuine thoughts and problems. But behind those deceptively simple tales\, Blume explored the pillars of the growing women’s rights movement\, in which girls and women were entitled to careers\, bodily autonomy\, fulfilling relationships\, and even sexual pleasure. Blume wasn’t trying to be a revolutionary–she just wanted to tell honest stories–but in doing so\, she created a cohesive\, culture-altering vision of modern adolescence.\nBlume’s bravery provoked backlash\, making her the country’s most-banned author in the mid-1980s. Thankfully\, her works withstood those culture wars and it’s no coincidence that Blume has resurfaced as a cultural touchstone now. Young girls are still cat-called\, sex education curricula are getting dismissed as pornography\, and entire shelves of libraries are being banned. As we face these challenges\, it’s only natural we look to Blume\, the grand dame of so-called dirty books. This is the “ground-breaking” ( BookPage) story of how a housewife became an artist\, and how generations of empowered fans are her legacy\, today more than ever.\n— – – Drops-ins and New Members welcome

SUMMARY:Artist of the Week: Richard Rearick
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Palmer Museum of History and Art as we welcome Richard Rearick\, an Alaska-born artist whose work celebrates the landscapes\, wildlife\, and natural beauty that have shaped a lifetime of exploration and inspiration. \nBorn and raised in Anchorage\, Richard grew up camping\, fishing\, and experiencing Alaska’s outdoors firsthand. After attending the University of Idaho\, he returned home to Alaska\, settling in Eagle River\, where he raised a family and built a career as an architect. While family and professional commitments left limited time for artistic pursuits\, his passion for creativity remained constant. \nInspired by the legacy of his mother\, Alaska artist Victoria Rearick\, he began painting shortly before her passing and has since immersed himself in the creative process. Working primarily in acrylics\, he draws inspiration for his paintings from decades spent hiking throughout Eagle River\, the Chugach Mountains\, Hatcher Pass\, and other iconic Alaska landscapes. \nHis artwork has received numerous honors\, including multiple awards at the Alaska State Fair. His design “Raven Spirit” was selected as the 2025 Fur Rondy 90th Collector Pin\, while “Mother Moose” was chosen for the 2026 Fur Rondy Collector Pin. Most recently\, the Alaska Railroad selected his artwork “Ship Creek Crossing” as its 2026 annual print. \nThis week’s exhibit showcases a collection of acrylic paintings inspired by Alaska’s rugged landscapes\, diverse wildlife\, and abundant waterways. Featuring scenes from mountain peaks\, forest trails\, and wild places across Southcentral Alaska\, the exhibit captures the beauty and character of the places the artist has explored throughout his life. Through a realistic yet expressive style\, these works invite viewers to experience the wonder of Alaska’s natural world.\nAdmission is free. Join us in celebrating local art and the landscapes that make Alaska extraordinary. 🏔️🦅🎨✨

SUMMARY:Stories in Stone: Palmer Pioneer Cemetery Tour
DESCRIPTION:This year’s tour\, Hearth & Homestead: Matriarchs of the Midnight Sun\, honors the women who built Alaska from the inside out — raising families\, feeding strangers\, and holding households together under the midnight sun. Visitors will hear the living histories of 12 remarkable matriarchs\, brought to life by local presenters among the headstones. \nAmong those featured are two women who each lived to 102\, embodying Alaskan endurance and fortitude. One raised six children alone on a subsistence homestead\, hunting\, gardening\, and sewing to keep her family fed through long winters. The other opened her home and heart to generations of Palmer travelers\, offering a warm meal\, a clean bed\, and the kind of hospitality that defined frontier Alaska. \n  \n
