Carla Emery, author of The Encyclopedia of Country Living, will speak at a free special public forum and intensive seminar on Saturday morning, June 19, 1999.

The event will be held at the Rappahannock County Public Library in Washington, Virginia starting at 9:00 a.m.

Washington, Virginia is located in the Blue Ridge about 70 minutes west of the Washington, DC beltway.

Carla Emery is a mother, speaker, and writer. Her publicly-acclaimed Encyclopedia of Country Living, is a basic reference work in the field of independent living and family food production ("goats and gardens").

In print for 25 years, this old-fashioned how-to manual and recipe book now has some 400,000 copies in print.

If you are interested in learning the homesteading, agricultural and animal husbandry skills that people knew 50 - 100 years ago, you will benefit from this program.

For more information call the library at 540/675-3679.
