Author! Author!'s new designated children's area, Bookworms in the Ballroom, was a huge success at the 2009 festival! Created by Committee Member and local librarian Deborah Macy, the ballroom of the Municipal Auditorium came alive with arts, crafts, science, and story-telling. Highlights were visits from Courduroy the bear, Sci-Port, and the Peter Pan Players. Ballroom festivities were not limited to children, as entire families seated themselves at long tables, making anything from bookworm-inspired spectacles to jiggly pipe cleaner antennae. Support for the projects were wide-spread as several of our acclaimed authors donned their own antennae while signing books in the arena.
A round of applause goes out to all who worked so hard on Bookworms in the Ballroom. The Author! Author! Committee Members would also like to express great thanks to everyone who visited throughout the day.
