The first-ever Wiregrass Book Festival is tomorrow, Saturday, March 2nd. The festivities kick off at 10:00 a.m. and run until 2:00 p.m. It’s a smaller event that will have book buyers running between local businesses and shops that are hosting readings and signings with local authors.
Here are the locations in Dothan, Alabama:
Downtown Books (150 North Foster Street)
- Meet thriller writer Logan Ryles
- Meet adventure novelist Mikelyn Bolden.
Bird and Bean Coffee Shop (144 North Foster Street)
- Meet Cap Daniels, author of the Chase Fulton thriller novels
Mural City Coffee Company (192 South Foster Street)
- Meet author Stephen O’Pry
Honey Bee Tees (158 North Foster Street)
- Meet Southern mystery author Anessa Kent
This sounds like a fun day running around supporting local authors and shops. I hope it’s a big success and the start of something new that grows yearly. I still miss the Alabama Book Festival and wish someone in Montgomery would revive it.
The Wiregrass Book Festival is being organized by the folks who own Downtown Books in Dothan. I haven’t been there yet, but they’ve been a lot of fun to follow on socials since they opened their doors.
