Kansas Cuisine with Roger Adams on Monday, November 7 at 6 p.m.

2011-10-31T16:25:00.004-05:00

You are what you eat. If this is true, then what are we as Kansans? Does Kansas have an iconic dish? What style of cuisine best illustrates our state?

Roger Adams will delve into these questions and more in his presentation “Kansas Cuisine” at the Liberal Memorial Library on Monday, November 7 at 6:00 p.m.

Adams will also be speaking at the Seward County Community College/Area Technical School Library earlier in the day at noon.

Part travelogue and part history, this presentation explores whether Kansans have a unique dish they can call our own. Along the way, local dishes associated with immigrant groups in Kansas will be examined.

Samples of authentic Kansas cuisine will be available at both presentations, which are free to the public.

This program is made possible by the Kansas Humanities Council.

For more information on this program, you can contact the Liberal Memorial Library at 626-0180.

“Kansas is flatter than a pancake when it comes to a cuisine or a dish that you could say is uniquely Kansan,” Adams said. “You’ve got to get off the main roads, travel a little way in, and see some of the older towns. You would be quite surprised at the culinary traditions you find.”

Adams is an associate professor of library science at Kansas State University and the curator of the Kansas State University Cookery Collection, the largest and most comprehensive cookery collection in the United States. He has presented programs on culinary history to groups in Kansas and across the United States.

The Kansas Humanities Council, which conducts and supports community-based programs, serves as a financial resource through an active grant-making program, and encourages Kansans to participate in their communities. For more information about KHC programs, contact the Kansas Humanities Council at (785) 357-0359 or visit online at www.kansashumanities.org.

Indie Award Winner Jerry Barlow in Concert at Liberal Memorial Library

2010-09-23T19:33:00.001-05:00

Liberal Memorial Library is pleased to once again present acclaimed Celtic fingerstyle guitarist Jerry Barlow in concert at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 5, 2010. The concert will be held at the library, 519 N. Kansas, Liberal, KS. Barlow’s expressive arrangements of lively jigs, spirited reels, and hauntingly beautiful airs have been described as music to soothe the soul, warm the heart and lift the spirit.

Barlow is a warm, accessible performer and storyteller. His unique and skillfully delivered repertoire incorporates favorite traditional Celtic pieces and his own compositions. For centuries Celtic melodies have been played primarily on the harp, flute, pennywhistle and fiddle. More recently, innovative guitarists have developed methods of playing this enchanting music utilizing alternate tunings combined with fingerstyle techniques.

In concert, Jerry brings traditional Celtic tunes alive by sharing the history, humor, and legends behind the music.

The concert is free to the public. Please contact (620) 626-0180 for more information.
