Simple Saturday

Registration has officially closed for this first-ever regional event sponsored by the Vermont College of Fine Art, Writing for Children and Young Adults. October 2 & 3, here we come.

Seventy serious writers for children from all over the nation are making their way to Round Rock...folks from California, Tennessee, New Mexico, Colorado and, yes, even TEXAS! They're coming to get a first hand flavor of the distinctive VCFA experience, to share ideas, eat some great food, reunite with old friends, meet amazing new ones, and have a simple down-home good time!

Events like these don't just happen automatically...oh, no. Our crew is proving the saying, "Many hands make light work," to be true. There have been some super helpers working alongside me to make certain this event goes off hiccup-less.  I'm getting by with a lot of help from my friends, let me tell you. I'd like to acknowledge the supporting cast of this soon-to-be-fabulous event: the lovely and always generous Cynthia Leitich Smith, Lindsey Lane, Meredith Davis, Ann Bustard, Katie Mather, Jo Whittmore, Mari Jorgenson, Erik Talkin, Shannon Lamm, Alisha Gabriel, Brandi Lyons, Jill Sayer, Katie Gustafson, my hubby John, and Megan from Mesa Rosa. 

From the tips of my toe nails to the top of my curly, red-haired head, I thank you, all!!!
