So, a lot of the things I talked out in the last few blog posts are just not going to work out for us this year. Bombadil, unfortunately, is still on a touring hiatus (we'll miss you guys!). The Book Arts theme previously discussed seems to be losing its momentum (we'll just save that one for another year, I guess). So the small press exhibit is now out of the picture.
But on the brighter side of things, we are starting to get a bit more organized. We now have a working list of about 24 possible events with about 20 different local and regional authors and artists. This is shaping up to match the general goal we set out for ourselves earlier in the year: fewer events and literary guests than last year, but still an impressive number for one and a half days in a small, historic town. I will not reveal any of the authors' names until we have officially confirmed with each one, but I hope to have that information for you very soon.
