Come visit the authors of the new Abandoned Kentucky book at the American Graffiti Bash event in downtown Paducah this Saturday between 5-10 PM! We will sell and sign the new Abandoned Kentucky book by the historic Columbia Theater! The American Graffiti Bash event is being held in the 400 and 500 blocks of Broadway in downtown and will include a fun night of vintage cars, food, drinks, treats, music, and more! The event is being hosted by Columbia Theater, a committed group working toward the resurrection of the historic movie palace as a future hub of downtown and a nod to our past. If you can’t make the event, you can pick up a copy of Abandoned Kentucky through your local Kentucky bookseller and on Amazon.
