You have heard about the importance of eating, drinking, and shopping locally, but what about reading locally? Introducing you to local writers is the goal of Saturday’s Door County Published Author Collective’s Book and Author Fair inside Sturgeon Bay’s Martin Park in Sturgeon Bay. More than a dozen authors will line the park meeting with readers and showcase their books for every age and interest. One of the authors participating is Corey Geiger, who has written two books about Wisconsin’s agricultural history. His most recent book, “The Wisconsin Farm They Built,” won three national writing awards. Geiger enjoys talking with other authors about their works as a part of the Door County Published Author Collective. He enjoys meeting with people who have read his books because of the conversation that is born out of those few minutes in time.

The event coincides with the Sturgeon Bay Farmers Market at Martin Park, running from 8 a.m. until noon.
