Back by popular demand! Author Derick Lugo returns to talk about his new book, "A Fabulous Thru-Hike" (out February 3).
Derick will join us on Friday, April 10 for an inspiring evening at the beautiful Mercantile Library. Adventure Crew’s RAD (Raising Access and Diversity) Women's Collective is once again hosting Derick as part of its speaker series. The evening will begin with a 5:30 p.m. social hour (a cash bar will be available), followed by Derick's presentation at 6:30 p.m. and a Q&A session. Tickets are $20.
Attendees also have the option of purchasing a VIP ticket, which includes a meet and greet reception with Derick and light bites from 5-6 p.m.; a copy of Derick's new book; and open bar throughout the event. VIP tickets are $90.
"'A Fabulous Thru-Hike' is a humorous, reflective, and deeply personal journey that picks up where 'The Unlikely Thru-Hiker' left off," Derick said, referencing his previous book. "This time, I return to the trail with new miles, new lessons and the same unfiltered curiosity that got me here in the first place. It’s a story about growth, grit, and finding joy in every muddy step — proof that the most transformative adventures aren’t just about where you walk, but who you become along the way."
We can't wait for Derick to share his latest story with you! Get your tickets today — last year's event sold out, so don't wait!
