The group usually stays together on the levee, then, once it reaches the Katy Trail, the pace quickens and the pack breaks into smaller groups. A fast front group often averages 20 mph or more, a steadier B group averages 17 mph or more, and additional C and D groups may form. Afterward, many participants stop at The Hub for food and beverages, with options nearby such as Steve's, 4Hands, Hi-Pointe, and Narhwals. Participants are asked to complete a waiver ahead of time.

Main Street Books presents an evening with debut author Meg Anderson in conversation with author Michelle Collins Anderson to celebrate the forthcoming novel The Memory of Borrowed Books. Admission is free, and registration is encouraged. Books will be available to purchase at the event, and both authors will sign afterward. Entry to the signing line requires purchasing a copy of The Memory of Borrowed Books from Main Street Books. Set in the coastal town of Foxhollow Bay, the story follows librarian Claire Ashford, whose carefully structured life is shaken when the centuries-old library she calls home faces closure. During a late-night walk among the shelves, she discovers a hidden door that leads to a secret room filled with books no one else can see. Each book immerses her in memories left by those who once visited, revealing clues that point toward a way to save the library. With demolition drawing near and one book pulling her back again and again, Claire begins to see that the key to preserving the place she loves may be rooted in her own past. The novel pays tribute to community and hope, exploring what is at stake when cherished spaces and the memories they hold are threatened, and how what we fight to keep can, in return, protect us. Meg Anderson writes contemporary fiction with a bookish magical realism bent. She lives in Indiana with her college sweetheart, their three children, and four very opinionated cats. When she is not writing, she is often tackling laundry or reheating the same cup of coffee. She lives with multiple sclerosis, a part of her life but not the whole, and believes in the power of stories to comfort, connect, and spark joy even through difficult chapters.

Many teachers view Liszt as the domain of virtuosos, yet his catalog includes a wealth of pieces that suit intermediate students and even promising beginners. This session dispels that notion and makes the case for bringing Liszt into everyday instruction, showing how his intimate understanding of the piano can build technique, refine tonal color, and strengthen expressive playing. It also opens the door to the imaginative worlds that inspired him, from poetry and literature to visual art, landscapes, and sacred themes, offering concrete ways to teach character, atmosphere, and musical storytelling. Through a tour of repertoire at varied levels, attendees will leave with practical strategies for incorporating Liszt and guiding students to grow both artistically and technically, with music that is approachable and engaging for a range of abilities. The presentation is led by Dr. Jorge Modolell, a pianist and musicologist focused on nineteenth-century music and the life and works of Franz Liszt. He holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music and a Ph.D. from Washington University in St. Louis. His recent research centers on Liszt’s connection to St. Francis of Assisi and the composer’s Franciscan-inspired works. His scholarship has appeared in the Journal of the American Liszt Society, and he has presented at regional and national gatherings, including meetings of the American Musicological Society, the University of Miami Graduate Musicology Forum, and the Brandeis University Musicology Conference. In 2024 he was invited to lecture at the University of Georgia for the American Liszt Society’s 60th anniversary, and he is slated to lecture again for the Society at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln this year. He serves on the piano faculty of Webster University’s Community Music School, teaches music history as an adjunct at Washington University in St. Louis, and is Vice President of Membership for the Saint Louis Area Music Teachers Association. As a performer, he has appeared as a soloist with the New World School of the Arts Symphony Orchestra in Miami and performs regularly with local groups including the Rubinstein Club, the Chaminade Music Club, and the Piano Society of St. Louis.

At Family Arena St. Charles in St. Charles, MO, Tire Rack Street Survival offers hands-on driver training for teens focused on safety and real-world skills. Participants practice controlling their own car at its handling limits, apply driving physics, improve decision making, react more quickly, and learn to anticipate the behavior of other drivers. This full-day school combines classroom instruction with coached driving exercises in each student’s vehicle. Across roughly two hours split into three classroom segments, topics include proper seating and hand position, mirror setup, the tire contact patch, weight transfer concepts, long-range vision, situational awareness, and the challenges of distractions such as radios, phones, or too many passengers. On course, students work through wet skid control, rapid lane changes for collision avoidance, threshold braking with ABS, and a slalom to feel weight transfer. When feasible, additional drills cover recovering with two wheels off the pavement and understanding the risks of tailgating. A semi truck may be staged with cars around it so students and accompanying adults can sit in the cab and experience how many vehicles disappear in the blind spots, and an airbag deployment demonstration may be used to reinforce safe hand placement. Parents are encouraged to stay for the day, attend the classroom portions, and speak with instructors who are available to answer questions about the activities. Lunch is provided for students, parents, and volunteers, and educational demonstrations are offered during the break. The course fee is $175.
