An Unforgettable Evening with Bestselling Author Kevin Fedarko presenting A Walk in the Park & The Emerald Mile
Join us for an extraordinary evening with acclaimed author and adventurer Kevin Fedarko, as he shares the riveting story behind his latest book, A Walk in the Park and stories of his previous bestseller, The Emerald Mile.
In this casual conversation with KVNF‘s Brody Wilson, Fedarko will bring his adventures to life and will discuss many of the issues he explored throughout his books.
This is more than a book talk—it’s an up close and personal discussion with this conservationist and 20-year veteran of adventure writing. Whether you’re a lover of nature, storytelling, adventure, or conservation, this evening promises to move, inspire, and stay with you long after the final word.
Seats are limited—don’t miss your chance to be part of this unforgettable journey.
