MHS 2013 Fall Conference
“RAISING A GLASS WITH HEMINGWAY”
The weekend conference will be held from Friday evening, October 4, 2013 through Sunday morning, October 6, 2013 at the Odawa Hotel in Petoskey, MI.
Our keynote speaker will be Philip Greene, author of To Have and Have Another: A Hemingway Cocktail Companion.
Greene’s book delves deep into Hemingway’s drinking habits and offers dozens of authentic recipes for drinks directly connected with the novels, history and folklore, and colorful anecdotes about the man himself.
Saturday evening after dinner and the speaker we will have an opportunity to visit a local pub or two to try a “Hemingway Special” drink of some kind – so you’ll have an opportunity to be doing just what our theme suggests – “Raising a Glass with Hemingway.”
Other conference events will include a panel discussion about Nick Adams and drink, a reader’s theater and a writing contest for attendees (with prizes - so sharpen your pencil.) It’s bound to be an informative and fascinating weekend! Mark your calendar and watch for program details (including the writing contest requirements), conference registration and lodging information on this website and in our August mailing to members.
