"My sister Mary is the reason I am a writer," said Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the Little House books. Mary lost her sight at age fourteen, and Laura became her sister's eyes, describing the world so her sister could "see" as well. Find out about her richly rewarding life and the challenges she faced as a blind woman a hundred years ago. Sing along with some of Pa's fiddle tunes, weave a beaded bracelet (the same as those Mary made for her sisters), and enjoy birthday cake made from Ma's recipe. Free to the public but space is limited so registration is required. Call 899-2213 by January 9 to register. For adults and children age 5 and up.
