The event is free and open to people of all ages.

"Blowback '07" is a novel for young people in grades 7 to 12.

When Iris plays the strangely curved woodwind, the trouble begins; Arky’s friend, Matt, the school’s star quarterback disappears.

Transported to 1907 and the Carlisle Indian School, Matt is forced to play football for coach Pop Warner as the Carlisle “Redmen” revolutionize Ivy League football. Matt’s struggle to “play his way home” is complicated when he falls in love with an Indian girl.
