Summer Potpourri II
July 8 – Raised in Horse Raising
Explore Thoroughbred horse racing, breeding and training through the experiences of a person raised in that world. The presenter, Judy Reese, lived on horse farms in Kentucky, Florida, New York and outside Princeton, New Jersey. She raced horses across this country, as well as, Canada, Ireland and England. These experiences grant Reese a unique perspective of the history, and the current state, of horse racing in the United States versus Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
July 15 – Wind Point Lighthouse
One of the tallest and oldest lighthouses still operating on the Great Lakes, this presentation chronicles the history of Racine’s premier lighthouse. For over 80 years, dedicated keepers and their families faithfully tended this sprawling lighthouse complex and booming foghorn.
July 22 – I am a Female Expat
My conservative husband fell in love with the beauty of Costa Rica and much to my surprise, he proposed our moving there. We went to a conference on how to move there, spent two weeks traveling the country, and chose the Southern Pacific Zone. We sold our house in Wisconsin, moved to Costa Rica and became expats!
