Congratulations to Ginger Strand whose new book, Inventing Niagara, was picked as one of summer’s best non-fiction books by Fresh Air. We’re basking in the reflected glory as Ginger’s other summer writing includes one of the essays in our Badlands catalog. Its a great read and the cover design is really cool too.

We’re so lucky to have friends like Leslie Ferrin (of Pittsfield’s Ferrin Gallery) who comes to the Badlands opening, takes  great photos,  and posts them on wonderful blogs like Rural Intelligence. It was a beautiful night and our first outing under the Wapenaar Pavilion for the season.

You’ll find more photos and coverage at The Pit and Berkshire Fine Arts will likely post something soon.
