CONCORD'S INTRODUCTION TO AND SIGNING OF Little Rex: A Night at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery by Author Gary Porter

On Saturday, September 19th, 2026, The Friends sponsored and hosted this Event at Concord's Colonial Inn at which the author enthusiastically and welcomingly shared with the guests the origin of the book's concept, read pertinent sections of the publication, and answered questions.
The book, intergenerationally appropriate, blends historical fiction, supernatural elements, and philosophical reflection, through the perspective of an endearing Boston Terrier named Rex. The canine protagonist engages with the ghosts of iconic figures in American Literature in intellectual discourse, reflection, and companionship in the Cemetery and in various Town locations.
An educational and entertaining read!

Welcomed by Board President, Kevin Thomas Plodzik, are author Gary Porter, and. his wife Melissa.
