to stay on a righteous path.

But the Geneva Public Library is giving a preview of such a place when it hosts Paula Haney, owner of Hoosier Mama Pie Company, for a presentation from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Aug. 22.

Haney, author of Hoosier Mama Book of Pie, will share tips and demonstrate how to make a pie crust.

Here’s the best part. The library and Hoosier Mama will serve pie to those attending the session.

More kite flying:

At the risk of mentioning every kite flying event in the area, mainly because I loved this activity as a kid, this has to be passed along.

Chicago Kite will conduct demonstrations and hand out free kite kits to the first 500 kids attending the Kite Festival from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 20 at Peck Farm fields in Geneva.

We know what has to happen to make this festival work. The wind has to cooperate. More often than not, such a prerequisite is not a problem around here, especially in the wide, open spaces at Peck Farm.
