Discover the History Behind Sesame Street with Michael Davis Street Gang Book Signing Saturday, September 12th 2009 @ 1:00 pm Celebrate the art in kids television puppetry this Arts Fest, with an up close and personal look at Sesame Street! We'll be hosting author Michael Davis, who will sign copies of his acclaimed book Street Gang and answer any questions you might have about the history behind the classic show. The event will happen at the same time that the Michener Museum will be running their Jim Henson exhibit. Check it out -- a great way to fill your afternoon!   Because a license is not required to practice journalism, Michael Davis has been free to ply the art and craft at nine newspapers and magazines in seven states, working as a news reporter and editor, sports editor and columnist, feature writer, managing editor, senior editor and executive editor. Through the years he has lost as many journalism awards as he has won, and that has kept him humble and hungry. He lives anonymously with his wife in Yardley, PA. Street Gang is his first book.
Start: 3:00 pm
Free Presentation/Book Signing with Nationally Recognized Field Guide Author David Sibley Saturday, September 12th 2009 @ 3:00 pm Location:  The yard of the Mercer Museum. David Sibley, renowned ornithologist and author of The Sibley Guide to Birds, will be in Doylestown this 2009 Arts Fest weekend to host a talk and sign copies of his newest book, The Sibley Guide to Trees.  Meet him and get your questions answered! Attendence at the event is free.   The son of ornithologist Fred Sibley, David Sibley began birding in childhood. A largely self-taught bird illustrator, he was inspired to pursue creating his own illustrated field guide after leading tours in the 1980s and 1990s and finding that existing field guides did not generally illustrate or describe alternate or juvenile plumages of birds. His Sibley Guide to Birds is considered by many to be the most comprehensive guide for North American field identification.He is married, with two sons, and currently lives in Massachusetts.
