Race to the Pole Thursday March 2 at 6:00pm Sign-up Required - Click Here to Register Online!

He has walked on the Antarctic Ice Barrier, traveled by dog sledge, man-hauled sledges across the ice, and slept in a tent at -50º F. His interest in the Amundsen and Scott expeditions began during his cold, dark Antarctic winter when he read their accounts and came away with more questions than answers. And so began his decades-long search for answers in hand-written expedition journals, first-person accounts, contemporary newspaper articles about the Amundsen and Scott expeditions.*Copies of the book will not be sold at this event, but Dennis is happy to sign any copies purchased from Amazon. more info...

He has been cold ever since, with a three-decade stop in Chicago and Evanston as a precursor to settlingdown with his wife, cat, and two dogs in Madison, Wisconsin, where he found a closet large enough for his impressive, suited-for-all-climates coat collection. Over the years, Brooke has held many titles-connector, banker, membership director, distiller, brand ambassador, preschool teacher, property manager - but his absolute favorite is used only by his amazing daughter, Julia: Dad.ILLUSTRATOR MATTHEW LaFLEUR was born with a crayon in his hand, dimples in his grin and goofiness in his soul. An illustrator for over two decades, Matthew has drawn from the creative well to create various artwork that has appeared on beer cans and bottles, baseball trivia books, board games, whodunits, greeting cards, MENSA puzzle books, and The Wall Street Journal. Matthew recently reached new heights, bringing to life Ultimate Treehouse, a fun and family-friendly tabletop game.
