The Ladd Public Library is hosting Ladd Village President Frank Cattani on Thursday, February 26th at 6:00 pm for a presentation from his recent trip to Fanano, Italy including a personal account of his family’s travels, telling of new discoveries and old ties to the Cherry Mine Disaster.  While interesting to everyone, his accounts will be of special interest to those area residents whose relatives also immigrated from the Emilia-Romagna Region of Northern Italy in the Provence of Modena and the Modenese Apennines.  There is no charge for this program. Stop by or call the Ladd Public Library at (815) 894-3254 to reserve your seat but walk-ins are welcome!
