An Evening with Maine Author Chris Packard

Chris Packard of Bangor will be sharing stories from his book Mythical Creatures of Maine, which examines all aspects of over 40 mysterious creatures in Maine. Have you ever heard of the weewillmekq or pamola? Come learn more about these mysterious beasts and the legends that surround them.

Chris is a full-time high school science teacher at Bangor High School. He is also a trail runner, swordfighter, storyteller, and outdoor adventurer. When not teaching, writing, or wandering in the wilds he can often be found on his small homestead in Hampden, Maine gardening, raising chickens, and spending time with his wife and two sons.

Prior to taking up teaching and writing he worked as an ecological restoration technician, field biologist, naturalist, and outdoor educator. He has earned some pieces of paper that say things about degrees in biology and education. But most of his learning has come from his passion for discovery and his drive to bring people together.

This talk is suitable for all ages and is free and open to the public.
