SUMMARY:Book Signing: "The Uncommon AP Club" by Heidi Fedore
DESCRIPTION:Stop on by to chat with author Heidi Fedore about her latest young adult book The Uncommon AP Club as well as her 2025 title\, Pigs and Flakes. Pick up a signed copy while you’re here! \nSaturday\, June 6th from 11AM to 2PM at Auntie’s Bookstore\n(402 W Main Ave)  \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nAbout the The Uncommon AP Club \nWhat happens when the lives of four members of the start-up AP Club start mirroring the novels they’re studying?\nAmbitious high school junior Alonzo and his dad argue about his future. Alonzo will do anything to attend college\, but his dad wants him to work in his family-owned auto parts store. What sacrifices will Alonzo have to make to go after what he wants? \nEdgy Adele thinks her academic chops put her head and shoulders above her peers\, but her social skills are lacking. Cheerleader Emma softens Adele’s edges and Adele ends her unyielding no-boyfriend oath for a surprising match.\nJax\, high school basketball star accustomed to living on talent and vibes\, is feuding with his best friend. He wants to win his friend back without losing his convictions. \nThese evolving academics might learn the true nature of friendship and the satisfaction of social justice in this mash up of Pride and Prejudice\, Emma\, A Passage to India\, and Lord of the Flies. \nAs they navigate tricky social norms\, potential jealousy\, and sacrifices\, are they going to pen their own happy endings or write themselves into a corner? \nAbout the author \nNothing like a teacher’s praise to spark a future novelist. Heidi Fedore’s first grade teacher\, in High Wycombe\, England\, wrote in her report card that “her written work always shows imagination.” \nGrowing up with three siblings and both parents\, and living in England\, France\, Germany\, and in a variety of states\, provided lots of fodder for storytelling. She’s happiest when writing and spending time with family or outdoors gardening\, walking\, kayaking\, and snowshoeing. \nThe best way she got to know teenagers was being a high school English teacher for eleven years\, assistant principal for six years\, and principal for twelve. \nShe published her debut novel\, Pigs and Flakes in 2025\, which won the bronze award in the 2026 Feathered Quill Book Awards. The Uncommon AP Club was released in February 2026.

SUMMARY:CATHARSIS at Terrain Gallery
DESCRIPTION:CATHARSIS is an interdisciplinary solo exhibition by Duncan Clark Menzies examining one’s journey from concealment to discovery through catharsis. This exhibition extends the central question of The Bedsheet Chronicles: “What do you cover?” Through landscapes and the cultural terrains around us\, CATHARSIS explores how our environment shapes\, conceals\, or defines our worldview—consciously and unconsciously—through life experiences\, religion\, family\, society\, and the culture of our adolescence. \nFeaturing a variety of media\, including conceptual lamps\, collage\, classical Americana landscapes\, surveys of different decades\, and photojournalism\, the exhibition will also include an immersive installation and sheet covered canopy premiering a new documentary about The Bedsheet Chronicles\, which was created in collaboration with videographer Jack Wade.\n____________________________________________________________________________ \nARTIST STATEMENT: \nDuncan Clark Menzies is an interdisciplinary conceptual artist born in Snohomish and raised in Coeur d’Alene\, where he currently resides. His work explores the intersections of spiritual\, Celtic\, communal\, and queer identities through shared stories and spaces. \nMenzies’ primary project\, The Bed Sheet Chronicles\, collects personal stories through community interviews in which he asks participants\, “What do you cover?” Interviewees then provide him with a bedsheet. Using bedsheets\, storytelling\, performance\, woodworking\, projection\, and lighting\, the project examines themes of shame\, upbringing\, religion\, politics\, cultural heritage\, and identity.
