Gnu Gnotes:
Dear Friends,
The Gnu's Room is pleased to announce what we hope will become an annual event in the Auburn-Opelika area. We are hosting the First Annual East Alabama Book Festival on
Sunday, October 18th from 1:00 - 6:00 p.m. in Town Creek Park in Auburn, Alabama.
The Festival will feature authors, publishers, local original music, vendors and more! Co-hosts for the event are the Southern Humanities Review and The Republic of East Alabama Artists + Makers. The event is FREE and open to the public.
We are issuing an invitation to authors who wish to have booth space to promote their work and take part in a short reading, as well as to publishers and literary arts related non-profits and others. Booth space is somewhat limited and is first comeāfirst served. Reading slots will be available in a like manner.
The deadline for participation is
October 1, 2015. We must have your registration form and your donation of $20 by that date to hold your spot. Non-profit booth space requires no donation, but we
will need a registration form to save your spot.
Registration forms and additional information can be found at www.thegnusroom.com by clicking on the tab for EAST ALA BOOK FESTIVAL. We welcome your participation!
Town Creek Park is located at 1150 S Gay Street, Auburn, Alabama 36830. Parking and restrooms are available at the Park. A covered pavilion will be utilized for author readings, announcements and musical performances.
We will update you with the names of participants as we have them. We do know that Mama Mocha's Coffee will be represented there along with a food truck serving mouth-watering Belgian Waffles and other goodies!
Bring your lawn chair and your imagination!
