A Smashing Success: The Great 2014 Decatur Book Festival Iron-on Transfer Patch Printing & Ironing Tote Bag Pizza Beer & Wine Party Extravaganza
One FREE tote bag with every book purchase! Hello, my friends... we have liftoff! My friend and fellow published author Lynda Fitzgerald and I hosted a party at her house on Saturday, in which we printed and ironed graphics of the covers of our novels onto tote bags. The bags are for a FREE promotional giveaway at our appearance at the 2014 Decatur Book Festival on Labor Day Weekend Saturday and Sunday August 30 & 31st. Lynda and I will be co-hosting Author's Booth #358, where we will be signing and selling copies of our books.
Nikki Brown (L) & Marilyn Bowman (R) Thanks to our great friend Marilyn Bowman, Lynda's daughter Nikki Brown, and our friends and fellow writers Barbara Barth and Richard Bowman, the party was a smashing success! Lynda and I each netted around 30+ tote bags, and I even managed to save one iron-on transfer print for a SOULSNATCHER T-shirt, which I will be wearing at the Decatur Book Festival as a living breathing walking advertisement for myself and my novel, lol.
Yes, you have to print iron-on transfers backward!
Me & friend Richard Bowman We were all like a seasoned team of professionals, and finished the work in record time thanks to our friends - which meant we could move on to the important fun stuff like eating, drinking, and telling tall tales. We had pizza, wings, a salad, and beer and wine. Richard even brought some homemade lager brewed by a friend. And don't forget our canine friends: Lynda's dogs Chloe, Moxie, Zoie, and Lexi were there, along with Nikki's furry bud Josie, and my dog Holly Jolly the professional Therapy Dog. They all had a barking great time, and so did we. Special thanks to Barbara Barth for being our event photographer, in addition to being a blitzkrieg ironing pro. We should have gotten a pic of you, Barbara!
Nikki Brown, Lynda Fitzgerald, & FOOD! Lynda & I will be giving away one FREE tote bag with every book purchase at the Festival, but supplies are limited, so come early if you want one, and get them while they last! Admission to the Decatur Book Festival is FREE for all ages, and there's plenty of modestly-priced all-day parking. We'll be there for the whole Festival - Saturday August 30 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday August 31 from 12 noon to 6 p.m. - so bring your family, friends, and dogs (leashed!) and join us for the fun. Browse thousands of books, buy a book or two, don't buy any and just people-watch and enjoy dining and drinks at your favorite Decatur restaurant or pub, or grab a bite at one of the many food vendors at the Festival. So come on out and enjoy an unforgettable weekend filled with people, writers, and books galore.
