Vermont author Bill Mares will share drawings and tales from his new book, I Could Hardly Keep from Laughing: An Illustrated Collection of Vermont Humor, written with co-author Don Hooper, that illustrate the understatement, comeuppance, and subtlety of Vermont humor. Enjoy this ramble through the decades to show how Vermont’s true character shines in dry (and occasionally tables-turned) jokes and stories.
