Local author and award-winning Smoky Mountain News columnist Chris Cox will make an appearance at Smoky Mountain Roasters in Hazelwood from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, July 26.

Sponsored by Blue Ridge Books and Smoky Mountain Roasters, the event will feature signing and sales of Coxโ€™s latest book, โ€œWe didnโ€™t miss a thing.โ€ ย Coxโ€™s wry humor and uncommon wit shines across all 428 pages of what SMN book review columnist Jeff Minick said was a work that drops the reader โ€œinto the middle of a family and give us a real-life version of its ups and downs, its struggles and triumphs, its comedies and tragedies.โ€ 444 Hazelwood Ave. Free. facebook.com/blueridgebooks.
