VIRTUAL: History of New England Sweets: Doughnuts, Bonbons & Whoopie Pies

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.** Author and photographer Susan Mara Bregman will discuss her new book, New England Sweets: Doughnuts, Bonbons & Whoopie Pies. About New England Sweets: A chocolate mill opened in Boston in the late 1700s, setting the stage for New England’s enduring love affair with sweets. Over the following centuries, the region has become home to an extraordinary variety of baked, fried, dipped, sugared and frozen confections. Massachusetts gave us candy classics like Necco Wafers, Sky Bars and Junior Mints, and Connecticut claims lollipops and Almond Joy. New Hampshire boasts the world’s longest candy counter, and Maine puts a homespun twist on its doughnuts and chocolates by blending in a touch of potato. Rhode Islanders sip ice cream shakes called cabinets, while Vermonters prefer smooth maple creemees. From Fluffernutters to whoopie pies, Susan Mara Bregman explores this sugary legacy, uncovering the stories behind the treats that sweetened New England’s culinary landscape. Bregman is also the author of New England Neon, New England Candlepin Bowling and Along Route 1: Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts ― all for Arcadia Publishing. Register directly on Zoom HERE. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library in partnership with the Tewksbury Public Library and other area libraries. RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program. ACCESSIBILITY NOTE: The Tewksbury Public Library does not discriminate on the basis of disability and is committed to providing a reasonable modification to participate in our events, services or documentation. Contact Director Diane Giarrusso at 978-640-4490 or [email protected] at least two weeks before an event to arrange for modification, or at any time you need accessible documents. https://gleasonlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/virtual-history-of-new-england-sweets-doughnuts-bonbons-whoopie-pies/

The band specializes in traditional Dixieland jazz, showcasing a lively blend of cornet, clarinet, trombone, piano, banjo, tuba, and drums.
