My first book fair -

Well, the day was beautiful and the turnout was pretty good. But I didn't sell a single book. Not that I wouldn't try again.

It was still a good day.

People were in the mood to wander and gab, listen to the speakers and purchase books from people they know [like Joe Garagiola and Diane Gabaldon]. I got to meet some interesting folks. Two really cool things - there was a young German shephard wandering around, obviously lost and without a collar. I helped corral him and another woman took him home to care for him until his owner can be found. We didn't want him to get run over which would have happened at the rate he was going.

And I got to meet Joe Garagiola! I bought his book to give to my Dad [he's a big Yankee fan] and I got Joe to sign it to him. John took my picture with Joe.
