Colorado Mountain Hiking
Do you believe that climbing mountains involves ropes and hanging precariously from cliffs? If so, it is time to learn the truth. Not everyone attacks a peak in that fashion. Some people have perfected the skill of mountain walking. Two of those adventurous souls are Steve Kenkel and Brent Heeren. These two experienced mountain walkers will explain the sport - such things as the gear and safety measures. They will also entertain you with some of their more interesting experiences. You might become a mountain walker, but even if you don't, you will definitely enjoy the evening.

The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows is perfect for women to digest and dissect. Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Eat, Pray, Love, writes of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society: "I can't remember the last time I discovered a novel as smart and delightful as this one, a world so vivid that I kept forgetting this was a work of fiction populated with characters so utterly wonderful that I kept forgetting they weren't my actual friends and neighbors. Treat yourself to this book, please - I can't recommend it highly enough." Gather in The Roost, the renovated chicken house at Soul of the Prairie to dive into this book and its wisdom about friendship, literature, and the power to survive. Bring snacks to share if you'd like. For directions go to www.souloftheprairie.com/FindUs
