Cartoonist Brian Walker to make special appearance at the New Canaan Historical Society

Round up the family and don’t miss this one. The New Canaan Historical Society is opening its doors on a Sunday to host a fun-filled family event July 26, at 2:00 pm. Brian Walker is one of the creative team that produces the comic strips Beetle Bailey and Hi and Lois. Walker is going to give a Powerpoint presentation about growing up and working in the cartoon business, and will also field questions and sign books.

Brian’s event will be accompanied by a lemonade and cookies reception and an opportunity to view The Cartoonists of Silvermine: Past and Present, the current exhibition in The Historical Society’s Silvermine Gallery. Curator Mary Anne Case will be in the gallery to answer questions.

The New Canaan Historical Society is located at 13 Oenoke Ridge Road. The telephone is 203-966-1766.
