The University Press of Kentucky celebrates its 75th anniversary with company with good company: the Fayette County Cooperative Extension of the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. Collectively, the two organizations present Kentucky Proud Evenings, a series of monthly author talks.
This month, Terri Blom Crocker discusses "The Christmas Truce: Myth, Memory and the First World War."
Cocker’s work analyzes and contextualizes the historiography and memory of the 1914 Christmas Truce, which consisted of a series of unofficial ceasefires on Christmas Eve during World War I between British and German troops. These events will be a great opportunity to learn more about the amazing works that will be discussed while attendees enjoy the wonderful local food samples that will be provided. No preparation, reading ahead, or money is required to discover more about the many and various topics covered in these books and talks.
Each of these events will occur at 6:00 pm at the Fayette County Extension Office (1140 Harry Sykes Way, Lexington). Plate it Up! Kentucky Proud food samples will be available for those attending. Reserve your spot at a talk by calling the Fayette County Extension Office (859-257-5582). Copies of the book being discussed will be available for sale at the events.
