EATONTON — How does a peanut farmer become Governor of Georgia and President of the United States? Only in America could such a story be true.
The Georgia Writers Museum’s April Meet the Author, featuring Dorothy “Dot” Padgett on April 2 at the Plaza Arts Center at noon, will help answer those questions. Tickets are available by contacting Georgia Writers Museum (www.georgiawritersmuseum.org). Padgett will speak about her book “Jimmy Carter: Elected President with Pocket Change and Peanuts,” and signing books following her presentation.
