You couldn't ask for a more picturesque venue than the Wellington County Museum and Archives for the June 10/23 Writers' Festival and Book Fair. Kudos to Sophia Grande-Lawlor and facility team members for their coordination of this event. The program was packed full of fun activities for both adults and children. The weather was ideal and attendance impressive. Approximately 60 book vendors displayed their work. It was an ideal setting for writers and book enthusiasts to mingle and stock up on reading materials. Food was available for purchase, and we were serenaded by talented musicians on keyboard and guitar.
I've included a copy of the program for those who may want to consider attending future book fairs at the museum. Please note the spelling correction of author, Pam Blance's last name on the program is as I've noted here.
At 1:30 p.m. authors of a panel on writing and marketing mysteries walked to the Museum's Heritage Barn where people were assembled for discussions on this genre. Links below contain two video clips taken by Bob Lindsay:

The photo below shows panel members (L-R) Liz Lindsay and Pam Blance (AKA Jamie Tremain), Gloria Ferris, and myself, Donna Warner) taken by the fifth member of our local Genre5 writers' group, D.L. Houghton, who is a fantasy writer.
Authors were given the opportunity to set up book displays the night before. This courtesy allowed us to address any minor table set ups mishaps prior to doors being opened to the public at 11:00 a.m. the next day. And, yes, I did straighten the bend in my table banner.
