If you're a last minute sort of person, well then, time is on your side. I just found out about this event - if you can make it, do yourself a favor and get there:
Thursday, July 23, 2009 Time: 5:30 - 7:30 pm Location: Omnivore Books Address: 3885a Cesar Chavez Street (Noe Valley, SF) Phone: (415) 282-4712Speaker: Polly Adema, author of Garlic Capital of the World: Gilroy, Garlic, and the Making of a Festive Foodscape (2009)
Topic: The history of the Gilroy Garlic FestivalInterested parties can join CHoNC's mailing list by signing up at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CHoNC/
Unless otherwise noted, all CHoNC events are free and open to the public.
Anyone who has been to a CHoNC presentation knows how wonderful they are -- I count myself among the lucky. The location, Omnivore Bookstore, is half the fun. I can almost guarentee you'll find something to bring home to fill in that empty space on your bookshelf - you know the one.

iBuen Provecho!
