The Gwinnett County Public Library will present the First Annual Gwinnett Reading Festival on Saturday, October 20, 2007, from 10 am to 4 pm at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds.
This is a free event for all ages that will feature more than thirty authors from near and far who will be reading, discussing, and autographing their works. The Festival will include workshops, food vendors, music, bookstores, and a Festival Library branch. A coffee shop will serve hot beverages and feature conversations with authors.
Children’s activities include storytellers, dueling knights, a magician, crafts offered by the Jacqueline Casey Hudgen’s Center for the Arts, and a free book for every child attending the Festival, while supplies last.
Teen activities will include sumo suit wrestling, a Cosplay contest, and a performance by the comedy troupe, Laughing Matters.
The Gwinnett Reading Festival is supported in part by a grant from the Georgia Humanities Council, along with additional support from community partners. For more information, please visit the Festival website at www.gwinnettreadingfestival.org. The event will take place, rain or shine. No pets, please.
