The event will also pay tribute to historical society member and author Marilu Waybourn.

After the event, Hillerman will sign copies of her book. Copies of “The Way of the Bear” are available for purchase by Amy’s Bookcase. The historical society’s books, including those written by Marilu Waybourn, will also be for sale.
