‘Adirondack 102’ author to host book signing in Colton Sunday

Posted

COLTON -- Marty Podskoch, Author of Adirondack 102: Your Passport and Guide to the North Country, will be at Colton Town Hall at 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 5 to sign copies of his new book.

Refreshments will be served and books will be available for purchase.

The book encourages peoples to visit all 102 towns and villages in the Adirondacks.

The idea for the 102 Club began after Podskoch read about Dr. Arthur Peach of Vermont who in 1954 suggested the idea of an informal group, the Vermont 251 Club, to veer off the beaten path “to discover the secret and lovely places that main roads do not reveal.”

Podskoch said he believed the Adirondacks would benefit from a similar club that has traveled extensively in the Adirondacks gathering material for his five previous books on the Adirondack fire towers, the Civilian Conservation Corps camps, and Adirondack lore, and will share the joys of fully experiencing the Adirondacks and getting to know its local people and places.
