Journeys on US 20: The Longest Road in America

The Avon Free Library presents Michael Czarnecki in a program of photos, stories, and poems of his experiences across the country on Route 20.  Mr. Czarnecki is a poet, publisher and oral memoirist who has traveled the length of Route 20 on two occasions. 

"US 20 is the longest US highway.  It connects the two coasts, crosses the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and takes you to Yellowstone National Park!  Cities, small towns, rolling hills, eastern woodlands and farms, midwestern plains, wild western landscapes.  What more could one want in a single route, a route that today is garnering much interest in its historic significance."

This program will take place on Thursday, May 16 at 7:00 p.m. in the meeting room of Central Presbyterian Church, 133 Genesee Street.

Please join us for an interesting evening.


Note:  this event is co-sponsored by Poets & Writers, Inc. through public funds received from the New York State Council on the Arts.
