Sat. Oct. 28th from 10 am to 3 pm is the Main Event where you will get to meet the authors and get autographed books. We will have vendors, a Kid's Corner, Door Prize Drawings and a Treasure Hunt for prizes. Fun for the Entire Family.
THE TREASURE HUNT...We will have prizes such as Visa Gift cards and prizes to give away if you get a loot bag and go around and find 15 Gold coins. If you are one of the first 30 to bring back the coins, you get a free Treasure Hunt T-shirt as well as your name in the drawing at 2:30 that day. All you have to do is go to each author and vendor, sign in at their table and ask if they have a gold coin. It is a treasure hunt because you won't know who does or doesn't have coins. Have fun with it and spread the word.
Visit with many authors and get autographed books, and help us "Find a Cure Through Literacy." We will also have many dozen kids who have authored Volume 6 of DREAM CATCHERS, by kids, for kids. This book raises money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Arkansas Children's Hospital.
