Eat Local Read Local
My special thanks to Erin Fishman of the Cascades Library, part of the Loudon County Public Library, for inviting me to the 3rdAnnual Eat Local Read Local event. It promises to be a family fun day (books, food trucks, musicians, face painting, balloon art, etc.) of discovery celebrating the joy of reading, and showcasing local authors.
From the Loudon County Public Library:
