My wife and I dropped by the book signing and reception for artist-author Robin Steves of North Little Rock on Friday evening at the THEA Foundation on Main Street. It kicked off events for October’s 3rd Friday Argenta ArtWalk
Her book, “The Almond Tree,” is about the amazing world discovered by an 8-year-old boy who has lost his parents.
She was accompanied at the signing table part of the time by her daughter, Ridge Road Middle School English teacher Hope Baker. The reception was sponsored by Steves’ friend and neighbor, Claire Haun.
Steves recently moved her studio from her home in Park Hill to an upstairs space in Argenta.
Hal Smith is a Barling, Ark., native who played six years (1955-60) with the St. Louis Cardinals and was a three-time All-Star.
Mr. Smith, now 78, will appear at the Butler Center’s Legacies & Lunch program today (Oct. 7) at noon in the Darragh Room at the Central Arkansas Library System’s Main Library on Rock Street in downtown Little Rock. Appearing with him will be Billy D. Higgins, author of “The Barling Darling: Hal Smith in American Baseball.”
The program is free, but participants are asked to bring their own sack lunch.
