The art festival was a blast. We timed it perfectly. We got a great parking place one block off and got to the author’s stage just as they were starting. Got front row seats right in front of the podium. I was able to lip read no problem. The First Lady ( Karen E Cooper, When Minnehaha flowed with Whiskey) was a first time writer. She was so interesting that I bought her book, a history of the minihaha falls. Then was the main guy (William Kent Krueger, Fox Creek) that we came to see. His book was sold out. I’m going to go to the bookstore though and see if I can get a large print version for mum. He said he was number 1 with the most requested author by libraries. Then we listened to music and ate food truck food then looked at the art. The weather cooperated and no more rain, but it was humid. Ran into some people from the Y there. My sister went half with me and bought books. I’ll read them first then she will and pass them on.
