Join us for a magical evening over a shared fondness of film, and the culture of movie theaters... The acquiring of a ticket, the buttery scent of buttered popcorn, the lights as they dim...

Rick Winston's lifelong love of movies led to the creation of one of Vermont's leading cultural institutions, the Savoy Theater in Montpelier, Vermont. With humor and heart, he takes us behind the scenes of the hard and rewarding work of building a film venue over decades in a grateful community. Save Me a Seat is the story of how a vibrant film culture took root in unlikely surroundings, and the story of how a boy from the New York City suburbs landed in Vermont and became a preeminent film programmer and historian in the Green Mountain State.

Join Rootstock Publishing and three local Vermont authors to celebrate their new books! Authors and their books include:

• Novelist Mike Magluilo (A Reason to Run) of Cornwall, VT
