Hanukkah is a celebration of faith, freedom, and food. Like many Jewish holidays, this is a remembrance of survival in the face of an oppressive government. It coincides with the winter holiday season and is expressed through a week of lighting candles and gift-giving. Join Professor Jeff Kleiman and friends in their annual latke feast.

They will provide more background on the holiday, light the menorah (an 8-branch candelabra) and teach you to prepare latkes with the best. There will be recipes available in advance so you can cook and dine alongside the hosts.

Marshfield Public Library / 6pm

Join us for a virtual author visit with Geoff Carter to hear him chat about his new book, Thicker Than Water. The new book is about brothers Eddy LeBarron, a real estate salesman, and Will, a forest ranger. When the two brothers unexpectedly inherit a vast tract of land, their differences erupt into a head-on clash.

Their high stakes battle grows volatile, threatening to destroy not only the last of Wisconsin's old-growth forests but the LeBarron family and the entire Moon Lake community.
