This week will mark my third book festival of the
summer.
It started out in mid-June in
Ann Arbor, home to the University of Michigan and a great city not far from
Motown, with plenty of cultural diversity and events to experience, no matter
what the season.
Last week it was up the
East Coast of the state to Port Huron, where if you had a good arm, you could imagine
tossing a ball across the river to Sarnia, Canada. Well, maybe if you had Tom
Brady’s arm you could do that.
Now it’s time for the West Coast.
Lake Michigan surrounds that
side of the state, providing numerous small cities with an influx of tourists
and summer vacationers. Muskegon is hosting the Lakeshore Arts Festival on July
7 and 8.
Participating in the festival are about 60 Michigan authors. Rumor has it that some of these intrepid
souls may even be in costume. Whether that’s relevant to the genre they write
or they are doing it just for laughs, nobody knows. You’ll have to stop by and
see for yourself.
The group should be easy to find, as we’ve staked our claim
on the lobby of the great Frauenthal Center, right in the heart of the
action. With air-conditioned comfort no
less.
Here’s a link to the event. It’s a great way to extend the
Fourth of July holiday.
And here's a little tune to set the stage.
