[Michlib-l] Program: Joe Grimm and the Faygo Book Come to the Vicksburg District Library

[Adrianne Schinkai]

On Wednesday, May 15th at 6:00pm, the Vicksburg District Library will be
welcoming Michigan writer Joe Grimm as he presents on his new,
award-winning (2019 Michigan Notable Book Award, 2019 Book Awards Regional
History Finalist) book, *The Faygo Book*. Effervescent refreshments will be
served and should be a great time down memory lane for anyone who grow up
knowing the Faygo brand, Sander’s bumpy cake, and Better Made potato chips.

Per Grimm, “*The Faygo Book* is the story of a pop, a people, and a place.
Its stories will tickle the taste buds and memories of Detroiters and Faygo
lovers everywhere. This is the narrative of how a family forged a bond of
more than 100 years with a city and its residents and became the last
company standing in Detroit’s ‘pop alley.’ There WILL be a pop quiz.”

Grimm wrote *The Faygo Book* after building up a tremendous thirst on the
Wayne State University Press book *Coney Detroit*, written with Katherine
Yung. Grimm, a lifelong Detroit area resident, is a Michigan State
University journalism professor and worked 25 years at the Detroit Free
Press. Grimm’s favorite Faygo flavor is Rock & Rye.

No registration is required and the program is open to all ages. We hope to
see you there!
