Dion Leonard, bestselling author of "Finding Gobi" will give a presentation, and Q&A. Opportunity for photos with and petting Gobi! Canine will be present. Appropriate for all ages.

Finding Gobi: The inspirational, heartwarming & true story of a man & his best friend.

The New York Times, Sunday Times and International Bestseller Finding Gobi: A man, a dog, and the lengths to which love will go to sacrifice for its companion.

Finding Gobi is the miraculous tale of Dion Leonard, a seasoned ultramarathon runner who crosses paths with a stray dog while competing in a 155-mile race through the Gobi Desert in China. The lovable pup, who would later earn the name Gobi, proved that what she lacked in size, she more than made up for in heart, as she went step for step with Dion over the Tian Shan Mountains, across massive sand dunes, through yurt villages and the black sands of the Gobi Desert, keeping pace with him for nearly 80 miles.
