Judy Auer Shaw will present stories from her upcoming book, The Cuyahoga: Our Beloved Crooked River at the next Tap Talks on August 20 at 7 pm. Since moving to Kent in 2016, Judy has embraced the challenge of discovering the many hidden stories of this precious resource and learning how much it means to the people of our region. According to Judy, “My original intent was to write about the Cuyahoga’s history, tell the economic story, and describe the ecology and social value of the river. But, during my research, I was not prepared to hear so many fascinating stories from so many amazing people. In the end, my book contains 38 stories as they were told to me. The book is illustrated by over 150 photographs contributed by people who clearly love the river.”
