The John Hay Center and The Depot Railroad Museum will be hosting a free Hoosier Author’s Fair on September 7th. In attendance will be a variety of local authors as well as some from our local Writer’s Bloc that have been featured in many contests and publications. In addition, award-winning Indiana Author Ray Boomhower will also be present.

Boomhower is set to deliver a presentation titled: Gemini 3: Gus Grissom, John Young, and the Flight of the Unsinkable Molly Brown. This talk examines America’s quest to step foot on the moon. Boomhower is a Senior Editor at the Indiana Historical Society Press. He edits Traces of Indiana and Midwestern History, and has had articles featured in the Wall Street Journal, Publisher’s Weekly, and Smithsonian.

Made possible by Indiana Humanities and Indiana Author Awards, the Author’s Fair will run from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Ray Boomhower’s presentation will begin at 6 p.m.
