So we've been working hard the past few weeks and we've made a bit of progress. Check out the new authors list in our left margin! All of these guests are the ones that have confirmed with us that they will, in fact, be coming. We still have a few from which we are waiting to hear back--so the list may even get longer.
Right now we are trying to find out which of the Downtown Chestertown vendors (especially restaurants) will be willing to host a festival event. We want all the author-venue pairings to be good matches, atmospherically speaking.
In other news, we have a logo design in the works! Local artist Paul Hostetler has presented us with some design sketches and we hope to have the final draft ready for exploitation sometime soon. We're thinking posters, T-shirts . . . coffee mugs, maybe? There are loads of possibilities, but it's all down to what we can afford for this first year. We have our ambitions, though.
