The festival kicks off on Saturday evening, August 17th at 6:00 at the Gem Theater, with a live presentation by the New York Times bestselling author and naturalist, Sy Montgomery. Sy will be talking about her latest book, Of Time and Turtles: Mending the World, Shell by Shattered Shell. 
Here are 5 key insights from her book:
1. Even common animals we might take for granted are astonishing wonders, and worthy of our awe.
2. What looks like a hopeless disaster may instead be turned into a real-life miracle
3. Anyone can make a difference that can last for generations, and heroes come in all different forms.
4. Time, too, has many different guises.
5. Taking a hand at mending our broken world is the best way to restore our own souls.
Doors open at 5:00 for pizza and beer followed by the presentation at 6:00. Books will be for sale.
