The fair is run by a super-powered team, led by Superintendent of Schools Meredith Nadeau and her husband Travis Nadeau. I’m sure it took many volunteers and sponsors, as well. A friendly group of Bull Moose staffers handled all the book sales. I wished I could buy books from all 70 authors, but there were way too many choices (all at discounted prices!). I’ll certainly be suggesting some favorite titles for our children’s librarian to consider. As you can see from the picture below, the AuthorFest team does a wonderful job promoting the festival to members of the close-knit community and beyond.The event was perfectly timed with a Maine Association of School Libraries conference being held across the street. The enthusiastic librarians popped over during their breaks.
Lovely designed T-shirts (with all our names on the back) along with snacks and drinks were passed out to the authors and illustrators. And then, after we packed up our displays, I thought there might be a few cold cuts and rolls, but nope, we were presented with an authentic Maine lobster luncheon, complete with all the fixings and blueberry cake to follow.
Thank you Cape Elizabeth AuthorFest team for everything!
All in all a great day! Click

Wow, gorgeous, it did look like an absolute picture perfect day. And what a great event, sounds like the organizer know what they’re doing. Plus, that lunch- yum! I always feel a bit guilty when I go to things like this, too, b/c I want to buy and support everyone, but yanno, I’m not exactly rolling in the big bucks. =)
It was very well organized. I appreciate you taking time from your super busy schedule to leave a comment, Leandra. Thanks!
The Cape Elizabeth photo is so superbly stunningly beautiful. I’m glad you had such fitting and gorgeous venue for your book.
Thanks, Mirka. It’s a gorgeous area and I love inhaling the salty air.
Looks lovely, Marcia! What a great turn-out!
Yes, I was pleasantly surprised by the crowd and they kept coming for four hours. Thanks, Vijaya!

They did a great job and it was fun!
What a wonderful event for fellow authors to promote their books and to be in community with each other. Gorgeous picture of Portland Head Light! Sounds like the perfect day! 🙂
It was a privilege to be among such a large group of talented children’s book authors and illustrators. Thanks!
Lovely to see so many smiling people, it really looks as though everyone was having a good day.
Your photo of the lighthouse is stunning.
Thank you, Barbara! 🙂
I wish I had crossed paths with you at the Author Fest, Marcia–thanks so much for leaving a comment on my blog. Next time, I’ll know to look out for you and in the meantime, I’ll get my hands on your books.
Thanks, Katie! I’ll add your book to my Want to Read list, as well.
