Author Event: Beth DeCarbo - Book Release Celebration

📣 Join us up on the mezzanine for an evening with journalist and author Beth DeCarbo for a reading, Q&A, and book signing of her new memoir, “Mom & Pop Hardware.”
This nostalgic story takes readers back to the 1970s and early '80s in McPherson, Kansas, where Beth grew up working for her parents – who owned competing hardware stores side-by-side on Main Street. Even though they were married, her folks had very different ways of doing business and raising a family, creating a childhood full of humor, lessons, and heart. 🤍✨
______________
Beth is a freelance journalist whose work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe. A Kansas native and lifelong storyteller, she now lives in South Carolina with her husband, Chuck, their dog Biscuit, and two cats, Jam and Butters.
→ Books will be available for purchase during the event. Free and open to the public – no registration required!
