New Media Meets History: At the Casino

I’m pleased to announce that John Warren, publisher of the Adirondack Almanack blog, has agreed to give a lecture at the Huletts Casino on this Saturday, August 8th at 7:30 p.m. about blogging in the Adirondacks and his new book. John has a special personal connection to the Hulett family whom Huletts Landing is named after so we’re quite honored to have him speak.

His talk is entitled;

Adirondack Almanack: Adirondack Blogs, Books, and History

The Adirondack Almanack is the most widely read and most respected blog in the Adirondacks and John has been blogging for a number of years.

He has also recently released a new book entitled; Historic Tales from the Adirondack Almanack (published by The History Press). It’s a compilation of history essays from the last four years of the Almanack and it’s the Adirondack region’s first blog-to-book.

John is a writer, historian, educator, and filmmaker. He has produced and directed prizewinning film and video crews around the world and holds credits on more than 100 hours of primetime television. John’s work has appeared in a variety of media from PBS, History Channel, and Discovery to Adirondack Life, numerous regional and local newspapers, and online. John has lectured on history, writing, journalism, and documentary production at nearly a dozen colleges and universities and has taught at Ithaca College, SUNY Albany, and Adirondack Community College.

There is no charge for the lecture. It will begin at 7:30 pm. If you want to come early and purchase dinner that’s OK too! It’s sure to be an interesting talk.
