“Super Grandpa” by David M. Schwartz is set in Sweden in 1951. It tells the true story of 66-year-old Gustaf Håkansson. He was told by many that he was too old to enter a 1,000 mile bike race. He was told to go home to his rocking chair. Thankfully Gustaf did not go home! He let nothing stand in his way.

We will read “Super Grandpa” and make a craft that can be used as a bike decoration.
Reservations appreciated for this fun family event and can be made via email to snyman@samac.org.
