Weekly Meeting: Patrick Mader @ WOW! ZONE, 2030 Adams St, Mankato, MN 56001

Patrick “Packy” Mader has a background in education, business, and agriculture, with a professional career as an elementary teacher and is the author of six books.  He grew up on a dairy farm near St. Bonifacius, Minnesota, and has been a lifelong fan of sports at all levels leading to the creation of two 400-page nonfiction books, Minnesota Gold and More Minnesota Gold.   He and his wife, Karen, live in Northfield, and are the parents of two children.

Minnesota has a rich sports heritage.  Packy’s two books are the only ones on the market featuring more than 100 Minnesota athletes (51 more in his soon to be released second volume) in a variety of sports and eras from every geographic region of the state who have competed in the Olympics and World Championships.  The lives, perseverance, challenges, and achievements of the athletes who have competed on the world stage and now “give back” to their sport, community, and school are shared by Packy from what he learned through in-person interviews.
