Cow Creek Book Festival 2012

A HUGE "thank you" goes out to everyone involved in making the inaugural Cow Creek Book Festival a great success!  We had a great crowd for Clare Vanderpool at 10:30 Saturday morning.  We had a wonderful time with our great friends and partners, the Hutchinson / Reno Arts and Humanities Council and the excellent refreshments they provided.  And our Friends of the Hutchinson Public Library group sent a tremendous amount of used books out through the library garage with their 1/2 price sale kick-off event!

Here are a few shots from the day (more author pictures on the way):

  1. Thanks so very much for organizing this year's Cow Creek Book Festival. I enjoyed the day thoroughly. My husband and I were impressed by the beauty and content of the books written by the other Kansas authors who attended the event. The festival gave me the the opportunity to visit with several people who are caregivers for patients of dementia and who felt they could benefit from my book. Even the weather was perfect! Thanks and thanks again.

    1. Hi Linda! You are very welcome. Kansas seems to have some very good authors who are VERY generous with their time. Thank you for helping us get this festival off the ground. We're hoping to do it every year!
