Garcia to share stories from career as sportscaster
Garcia to share stories from career as sportscaster
Garcia will appear at the Reiter Center in Three Lakes on Tuesday evening, Aug. 12, at 7 p.m. Admission is free. A book signing and raffle drawing will follow the presentation.
A self-proclaimed "terrible athlete," Garcia has reported on Wisconsin's beloved Green Bay Packers during the Holmgren, Rhodes, Sherman and McCarthy years. Her book, "My Life with the Green & Gold," also features up-close and personal stories about other teams and athletes she's covered, from the Badgers and Brewers to Wisconsin Olympians such as Bonnie Blair and Casey FitzRandolph.
"Garcia's expertise is capturing behind-the-scenes, human-interest stories," the Three Lakes Historical Society said in a press release. "In 'My Life with the Green & Gold,' she shares a personal and humorous insider's look at many Wisconsin sports heroes from the perspective of a female sports journalist - and working mom - who has ridden the adrenaline rush to be on the air at 5 a.m., 10 p.m., and any hour in between all while juggling the many demands of family life. Not many parents can say they've changed their child's diaper in the tunnel at Lambeau Field, but Jessie Garcia can."
