Girls Inc. Concord invites you to attend a presentation by the authors and stars of the upcoming book The Adventures of Buffalo and Tough Cookie, a peak-by-peak trail guide to help hikers learn about and explore one of New Hampshire’s least-known mountain summit lists, the “52 with a view.”
The book is also a personal memoir and travelogue of two friends, Dan Szczesny – a seasoned middle-aged climber, and Janelle Mylott – an energetic fourth-grader, as they set off on a bonding journey that will change both their lives. It is a moving personal account of what happened when the author and his wife unexpectedly became part-time caretakers of 10-year-old twins. Part trail guide, part memoir, The Adventures of Buffalo and Tough Cookie is a journey through some of the state’s most remote wilderness, but is also a meditation on the transformative power of friendship, commitment and the many meanings of family.
The presentation will take place March 6 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Concord Girls Inc. at the Green Street Community Center. Szczesny and Mylott will bring slides and hiking gear from their adventure and talk to families about the challenges of White Mountain hiking and what it takes for a 10-year-old to climb 52 mountains in 52 weeks. After the presentation, meet and talk with these adventurers and discover that being small does not mean being weak. This event is free and open to the public, and will include a light dinner provided by the Girls Inc. of New Hampshire catering department.
