Book Festivals

Lory and I have been talking about book festivals recently. Last fall, I went to the Harrisburg Book Festival. https://www.hbgbookfest.com/ Recently, we went to the Annapolis Book Festival https://www.keyschool.org/community/annapolis-book-festival and the Cecil County Children’s Book Festival. https://www.cecilcountylibrary.org/event/childrens-book-festival Next week, June 24, we are going to the Chesapeake Children’s Book Festival in Easton, Maryland. https://chesapeakechildrensbookfestival.com/

I considered going to the Fredericksburg Book Festival, but didn’t get there. It is two hours each way, so I took another look at it. I hadn’t caught that it is a festival of independent writers, graphic novelists, publishers, and book artists. Sounds very interesting, and the Riverfront Park looks nice, but I thought we might want to see how the podcast evolves over the next year, and how this will fit. Maybe next year.

In the beginning, I don’t think we talked much about festivals, but it is becoming a growing part of what we are doing. Interesting things keep happening to us and that has been true of the festivals too. Visiting the Annapolis Festival led to plans for us to do an episode from the Festival next year. In Cecil, we got an interesting tour of the relatively new North East Branch, and we met two people who are deeply involved in the Chesapeake Festival. We’ve been promised a tour of the Easton Branch Library.

It just keeps getting better and better!

Maybe we will see you at a festival. Do you know one that hasn’t caught our attention? Send us an email or let us know on Instagram or Facebook.
