JOHNSON CREEK — The Friends of the Johnson Creek Library announce that local author Corey Geiger will be presenting tales from his book “On a Wisconsin Family Farm: Historic Tales of Character, Community, and Culture” at the Johnson Creek Community Center on March 24 at 6 p.m.

Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and all guests will enjoy free cheese samples from Hoard’s Dairyman Creamery, along with desserts and beverages.

Geiger’s book, “On a Wisconsin Family Farm: Historic Tales of Character, Community, and Culture,” follows the history of his family matriarch Anna Satorie, who was the sole owner of her family’s homestead in an era before it was commonplace for women to own property. Later, she married John Burich and together they continued to improve her farm.
