On Wednesday, May 15^th 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!
