Almost Famous Authors Faire Nov. 7

The Almost Famous Authors Faire is the place to be on Nov. 7th if you are a reader! There will be 45 authors of various genres (both local and from out of state) that will be on hand, thus far, and applications are still coming in.

Come on out and visit with the authors, make this event a smashing success so that it will be held each year and draw more and more authors, and take home a cherished, autographed book or novel (or two).

This event is free to the public and takes place at the Galt House. They hope to see many Germantown residents attending. For full details, please check the website: www.almostfamousauthorsfaire.com

The 2nd Annual Schnitzelburg Dog Walk will be held on Saturday, October the 3rd. It will take place from 10 a.m. to noon at 1020 East Burnett Street. The kickoff starts at 10 with a blessing of the pets, and another blessing will follow at 11.
