Author Talk: This Is Panther Country by Tom McKeown Live Event
Join us for an author talk with Tom McKeown, featuring his memoir This Is Panther Country. Set in mid-1970s Long Island, the book tells the inspiring underdog story of a small-town high school basketball team chasing a championship, seen through the eyes of thirteen-year-old McKeown. Blending sports, family, and community, the memoir captures a season filled with grit, teamwork, and heart, where basketball becomes a bridge across class, race, and generations. Fans of Hoosiers and Friday Night Lights won’t want to miss this celebration of community spirit and the power of believing in something bigger than yourself.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase, and the author will sign books following the talk.
Registration requested please, walk-ins are welcome.
