About this Event

Miss Felt invites you into her parlor for her annual open house. She will share her experiences, her love of learning, and how her devotion to the legacy of both her father and her mother shaped her life.

She will be performed by the beloved Debra Miller, a professional actress, vocalist and voice-over talent with over 30 years of experience as a performer for live audiences, television, and film. This will be her ninth performance for Galena LitFest. For this performance, she has worked with the Galena Public Library to uncover the legacy of Anna Felt from her surviving letters.

Each attendee will receive a boxed lunch from Galena Bakehouse and beverage from Galena Roasters. Click "Get Tickets" to make your choices.

Seats will be assigned. If you'd like to sit next to someone with whom you did not purchase tickets, please email [email protected] to let Larissa know.

Galena LitFest is an annual literary festival organized by the Galena Public Library and funded by the Friends of the Galena Public Library. A series of events takes place every January as well as a picnic in May. Follow the Galena Public Library on Eventbrite, Facebook, or Instagram to see what's coming next.
