There are 2 Book signings on my schedule this Saturday. Mayfield Gourd Patch Festival and Hanson, KY Fall Gathering

All About Gourds 2010

Book Signing 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Artistry has become the hallmark of the Mayfield/Graves County Art Guild’s annual All About Gourds exhibition; and the 2010 show, which is on display at the Ice House Gallery until October 8th, continues the tradition. In its 9th year, the international show features 40 indredible gourd creations from all across the U.S. as well as international artist. This festival also includes arts & craft vendors, food booths, music, and a Gourd Derby Race. Proceeds from the book signing will go to the Ice House Gallery.

Hanson, KY Fall Gathering

Book Signing 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The Fall Gathering features everything fall! A Hanson Harvest Market sets up in the Fall to provide color and supplies for our shoppers. Working on the Tried & True Honor System, buyers just pay at any of the shops if no one is there to take their money. Businesses host open houses and there is music and activities for the kids. Bring the entire family and kick off the prettiest season of the year! Proceeds from the book signing will go to the local arts council.

2 BOOK SIGNINGS THIS WEEKEND!!! OCTOBER 3, 2009

KUTTAWA, KY. AND HANSON, KY.

We are truly blessed with the opportunity to do 2 book signings this weekend Saturday October 3, 2009.

The Lyon County Chamber of Commerce has invited the Author (Me: Pam Whinnery) to do a book signing of “Favorite Recipes of Kentucky Celebrities” at the Autumn Festival in Kuttawa on beautiful Lake Barkley. I will be there from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Proceeds from the book sales will go to the Lyon County Chamber’s project to provide Recycle Bends at the various Lake Barkley Marinas. All those boaters that come in after a day on the lake will have a place to recycle aluminum cans and plastic bottles. Isn’t this a great project!

Then we are going to Hanson, KY, which is just north of Madisonville to do a book signing starting at 5:00 p.m. as a fundraiser for the Hanson Lions Club at the annual Hanson Cruise-in.

Hanson has the distinction of being Kentucky's smallest historic district with a thriving art and antiques community. With architecture from the late 1870's - 1890's, what's outside is just as fantastic as the fabulous shops inside these architectural treasures. From art and antiques to biscuits and B-B-Q, Hanson Kentucky has something to offer for everyone. Reaching back into its vibrant history, Hanson has become a haven for artisans and antique collectors.

This should be fun! Come join us to help a wonderful organization.
