February 2026: Hibner to sign books at Missouri festival

Perry Hibner, author of the book Centennial Revisited: An Oral History of the Epic TV Miniseries, will spend two days signing books and talking about his book at the Missouri Cherry Blossom Festival in Marshfield, Mo. 

Hibner will attend the festival on April 24-25. He is scheduled to sign books and talk about the book from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. The signing and autograph session will take place at the Marshfield Community Center, 114 E. Commercial St. Hibner’s table will be next to the table of Gregory Harrison, who played Levi Zendt in the miniseries and was interviewed extensively for Hibner’s book.

“I’m really excited to attend the Missouri Cherry Blossom Festival and thrilled that Gregory will be there as well,’’ Hibner said. “He has been a big supporter of the book and it will be fun for fans to buy a copy and then head over and get Gregory’s autograph in it.’’

Also in attendance will be author Cindy Wilson, who is a part of the Facebook group of Centennial fans who traveled to Colorado in the summer of 2024 to visit sites where filming took place. Wilson also was interviewed for the book along with others who went on the trip.

Other celebrities expected to attend the festival include: Alison Arngrim (Little House on the Prairie), Peggy Lee Brennan (M*A*S*H), Tina Cole (My Three Sons), Patrick Duffy (Dallas), Clint Howard, Jerry Mathers (Leave it to Beaver), Judy Norton (The Waltons), Linda Purl (Happy Days), Charlotte Stewart (Little House on the Prairie), Patrick Wayne, Martha Nix Wade (The Waltons), Sheree J. Wilson (Walker, Texas Ranger). Relatives of former presidents and other dignitaries are also expected to attend.
