June 14th Program
"Roadtrip with a Raindrop: 90 Days Along the Mississippi River",
Presentation by Gayle Harper, Photographer and Author
When Gayle Harper learned that a raindrop falling into the headwaters of the Mississippi would travel the river for 90 days to reach the Gulf of Mexico, she knew immediately that her project of a lifetime had appeared.
“The Mississippi River is the aorta of our country,” says Harper, “it is essential to our ecology and our economy and it is deeply embedded in our history and our very identity. I watched it grow from a fragile stream into a massive force of nature, yet its essence is always the same.”
Harper made a 90-day road trip along the nearly 2,400-mile course of the Mississippi, while keeping pace with a raindrop she called “Serendipity.” The result of her adventure was the book Roadtrip with a Raindrop. It is a celebration of America and of the simple moments that make life an adventure. Together, the words and images invite us to leave our agendas behind, to travel at the pace of a raindrop and to rediscover the fine art of letting life happen!
Gayle Harper has been a travel photographer and writer for more than two decades. Gayle’s home is wherever she is, but she is often at home in Springfield, Missouri, with her husband, Mike, and their cat, Louie.

The program will start at 1:00pm on Wednesday, June 14, 2017 at the National Avenue Christian Church, 1515 S. National Avenue, Springfield, Mo. 65804
