The heart and soul of this event are the gracious and well read participants who come from all over the country to attend. They are an exceptional group of devoted and intelligent readers. The program includes a book trivia contest, in which teams of readers and authors compete. If it were not for a category of questions with answers that included, The Pokey Little Puppy and The Saggy Baggy Elephant, I would have been held scoreless.
Booktopia 2016
I am grateful to have been one of the authors invited to participate in Booktopia 2016, a celebration of authors and readers. This two day event was hosted by Northshire Bookstore in Manchester, Vermont, one of the finest independent bookstores in America, located in one of New England’s most charming communities.
Ray – I noticed the photo you took of your Moms first husbands cemetery head stone. They have a product out now that can be sprayed on the stone – completely safe, but kills the lichen, and brings the stone back to original. Google how to clean headstones. You can’t use car wax / oil products / kitchen cleaners. Once cleaned with the bio product, the lichen fails to regrow. The inscription will become easily seen again. D/2 biological Solution is one of the products. There are a few out there. Do NOT use bleach/water mixture. Thought you would like to know.
Hi Sue. I wasn’t aware of that. Thank you for letting me know.
Best Regards – Ray
