"Jo Reynolds: A Diamond in the Rough." Presentation and Book Signing w/ author Larry Friedman

While the casino may be the first thing that comes to people's mind when they think of Diamond Jo, it's author Larry Friedman's goal to educate people about the fascinating life of the man it was named after. Learn about the industrious spirit that led Diamond Jo Reynolds through many business ventures and the legacy he left behind. Larry Friedman will give a 30-minute presentation about his new book followed by a signing.
