Some part of my brain must have decided that parenting, church ministry, full-time writing, full-time work, a marriage ministry, and nurturing a start-up business wasn’t enough to keep me busy.
Or maybe it’s just that I needed more excuses to drink Lavazza coffee. 🙂
One way or another, earlier this year I found myself expanding my “to-do” list by organizing the FIRST EVER small book & crafts gathering in our area.
We’re calling it LancoExpo and, I must say, things are coming together in a better way than even I anticipated.
I want to share what’s gone into planning this event and hope that you’ll reblog, tweet, and–if you’re near this corner of the world–attend 2019 LancoExpo.
It all started with a viable need. I know talented authors who can benefit with exposure to the community of readers. I know the feeling. So, author ally that I am, I reached out to a couple of venues and realized that the best place to hold this kind of an event was at… a library.
The Quarryville Library is a gorgeous facility with a very community-oriented leadership team. They agreed to host LancoExpo so that was one thing off my list.
This year we have about 12 author vendors signed up so far which makes for a promising event. You can find their info on my Meet the Authors page.
So now I had a place and some authors but I had one small problem that wheedled its way to the top of my must-be-solved-right-now list.
How do I get people to come ?
Find out how we’re solving that problem in my next post.
