About this Event

Becoming Ready to Die Release Celebration


Welcome to the Becoming Ready to Die Release Celebration!

Join us for an afternoon of inspiration, community, and celebration as we honor the release of Bubba Herrick’s debut book, Becoming Ready to Die.

Hosted at Martin Pitching Performance, this event is more than a book signing—it’s a community experience centered around purpose, connection, and fearless living.

Throughout the day, Bubba will be signing books, taking photos, and sharing stories about the journey that inspired Becoming Ready to Die. During his keynote talk (which is at 12:30 PM) , he’ll dive into the writing process, the lessons learned through his near-death experience, and the deeper meaning behind the idea of Becoming Ready to Die.

🛑 Please Note:
Books will not be sold at the event. To support Bubba’s goal of reaching the Amazon Best Seller list, we encourage everyone to purchase their copy on Amazon and bring it with them to be signed.

📸 What to Expect:

  • Book signing & photo opportunities with Bubba
  • Live keynote talk
  • Music, cornhole, basketball, and football
  • A family-friendly, community-driven environment

Come be part of this powerful moment—celebrating faith, resilience, and the journey of Becoming Ready to Die.

See you there!
