Northwest Bookfest in October

Partially I am posting this now so that we have a first blog post here, but the Northwest Bookfest will also be a great event - worth putting on your calendar.  Here is the blurb from their website.

Maybe it’s our cloud-cover. Maybe it’s the Northwest lifestyle. Maybe it’s the creative climate of our region. For whatever reason, Seattle continues to be – possibly more than anywhere else in the nation –a place of voracious readers and talented authors.

The 2011 Northwest BookFest, to be held October 1 and 2, promises to feed the appetite of both in grand style. This year’s theme – what else? – It’s Raining Books!

With generous support from the City of Kirkland, King County Library’s Kirkland branch, Kirkland Performance Center, Teen Center, and Peter Kirk Community Center, this family event will draw thousands to Peter Kirk Park and the aforementioned buildings.
