Thank you to everyone who came out to our Kick-Off Carnival on Saturday! We had over 400 visitors to our Education Warehouse to help kick-off the Big Read Lynchburg! It was great seeing so many people having so much fun!
One highlight of the day was the performances by Two of a Kind. Even better? They wrote a Big Read theme song with the help of some of our visitors. Be warned: the song is very catchy. I spent the rest of my weekend humming "It's the Big Read, the Big Big Read, it's the Big Read.... The Big Read."
I also had a great time talking to Pioneer Pete, Heritage High School's Pioneer mascot. Pete was definitely getting amped up for Pioneer Theater's production of Fahrenheit 451, which is going on October 16-19. I'm just telling you guys--if Pioneer Pete is there, it's bound to be a great time.
But of course, the Kick-Off carnival is just the beginning to the Big Read Lynchburg. We have lots of events coming up--just check out our community calendar for more details. Here's just a selection of the events that we have going on in the next two weeks:
* October 2: Book Discussion @ The White Hart
* October 3: Book Discussion @ The Mezzanine Cafe
* October 4: Candace Ransom, children's author, will be doing a meet and greet @ Amazement Square
* October 9: Book Discussion @ Barnes and Noble
* October 11: Create Book Art @ Amazement Square
And we have so much more going on! We look forward to seeing you out and reading!
