On Wednesday, May 15th at 6:00pm, the Vicksburg District Library will be welcoming Michigan writer Joe Grimm as he presents on his new, award-winning (2019 Michigan Notable Book Award, 2019 Book Awards Regional History Finalist) book, *The Faygo Book*. Effervescent refreshments will be served and should be a great time down memory lane for anyone who grow up knowing the Faygo brand, Sander’s bumpy cake, and Better Made potato chips. Per Grimm, “*The Faygo Book* is the story of a pop, a people, and a place. Its stories will tickle the taste buds and memories of Detroiters and Faygo lovers everywhere. This is the narrative of how a family forged a bond of more than 100 years with a city and its residents and became the last company standing in Detroit’s ‘pop alley.’ There WILL be a pop quiz.” Grimm wrote *The Faygo Book* after building up a tremendous thirst on the Wayne State University Press book *Coney Detroit*, written with Katherine Yung. Grimm, a lifelong Detroit area resident, is a Michigan State University journalism professor and worked 25 years at the Detroit Free Press. Grimm’s favorite Faygo flavor is Rock & Rye. No registration is required and the program is open to all ages. We hope to see you there! -- Adrianne M.
