HICKMAN COUNTY ARTS, CRAFTS, & BOOK FAIR


RECIPE FROM
DOLLY PARTON
IN COOKBOOK

“Country Goodness Recipes of Tennessee Celebrities” will be one of the featured books at the Sixth Annual Hickman County Arts, Crafts and Book Fair.

I will be signing both the Kentucky and Tennessee Celebrity cookbooks. This event will take place at the Clinton Elementry School Gym on Saturday, December 4th from 9 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Authors from around the region will be offering books for all age levels and interests.

Vendors of affordable Christmas gifts for young and old will be on hand with their wares. Organizers anticipate between 35 and 40 vendors.

There will be music at the Fair this year. Shoppers can enjoy a $5 lunch of soup, sandwich, dessert and drink while listening to local musicians perform. Santa will be on hand to hear Christmas wishes.


The Hickman County Arts, Crafts and Book Fair is sponsored by Friends of the Arts in Hickman County. Proceeds from the Fair go to the Hickman County Arts Council which supports arts programs throughout the year.

Arts Council Chair Mary Potter is looking forward to the Fair this year.
“It’s a great time to see old friends, get some unique Christmas gifts and support our local artists. I am especially excited to have music this year during the day. It will add to the total arts experience.”

H.O.R.S.E.S. Inc. LOGO MISSING


H.O.R.S.E.S. Inc. LOGO MISSING


H.O.R.S.E.S. Inc. is one of the organizations, which I work with to do fundraising with my cookbooks. They do Horse Therapy with children who have learning disabilities or need speech therapy. They are a wonderful organization made up of volunteers who donate their time and their horse’s time for this valuable work.

After a Saturday bazaar at Kentucky Oaks Plaza, H.O.R.S.E.S. Inc. Therapeutic Riding Center volunteers placed the organization’s large aluminum logo behind the building because it would not fit in the door.

THEIR 9 FT. BY 9 FT. ALUMINUM LOGO SIGN WAS TAKEN! THIS IS A PHOTO OF IT. IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THIS PLEASE CONTACT THE PADUCAH POLICE OR H.O.R.S.E.S. Inc. MEMBERS.

TAKING THE SIGN IS TAKING AWAY FROM THESE VERY SPECIAL CHILDREN!!!!

OTHER NEWS: I had the opportunity to participate in the Kentucky State Library and Archives 2010 State book Fair this weekend. Nov. 13. IT WAS A SUCCESS! More than 3,200 patrons supported the fair, with sales of $125,000! The proceeds go to provide grants to state libraries and library scholarships.

29th Annual Kentucky Book Fair
Saturday, November 13th, 2010


I have exciting news! I have been selected for the second year to participate in the Kentucky State Book Fair. I will do a book signing of the just released “Country Goodness Recipes of Tennessee Celebrities.”

My cookbook “Favorite Recipes of Kentucky Celebrities” will also be available, if you did not get a signed copy last year. It was 8th in overall sales from a selection of 200 authors and 523 books at last year’s book fair.

Here is your chance to get great gifts for family, friends, and yourself.

About the book fair:

The Book Fair, November 13th, opens at 9:00 a.m. to the public and continues until 4:00 p.m. There will be over 200 authors from across Kentucky. The books with authors are in Rows based on subject. The cookbooks and books on bourbon or with ties to bourbon will be to the extreme right in ROW 10 and ROW 3. As of now, my cookbooks are in the back area in ROW 3, which is next to the children’s books. JUST GO RIGHT AND KEEP WALKING! YOU WILL FIND US! :-)

About the cookbook:
There are recipes for Elvis, Trace Adkins, authors Sam Pickering and Tom Schulman (of Dead Poet’s Society fame), Paypal Founder David O. Sacks, and Lovelace CafĂ© (and no they did not send their biscuit recipe.)

COME CHECK IT OUT!
