Author to Sign Purdue Pete Book at Farmers' Market

Angie Klink will sell and sign her lift-the-flap children's book Purdue Pete Finds His Hammer during ''Purdue Day'' at the Lafayette Farmers' Market along Fifth Street, downtown, on Saturday, August 19 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

A portion of the proceeds goes towards promotion of the Farmers' Market. Cost of the book is $14.95.

Purdue Pete, the mascot of Purdue University, celebrates his 50th birthday this year. He first appeared at a football rally between Purdue and Missouri on September 29, 1956.

Klink will have a free ''Happy 50th Birthday, Purdue Pete'' coloring page available at the signing. Rides on the Boilermaker Special will be from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

In Purdue Pete Finds His Hammer, Pete appears at numerous campus landmarks looking for his lost hammer.
