Book Dessert Banquet

Wow, what a great turnout for the first Book Dessert Banquet. The evening was filled with people of all ages. A slide show featuring all of the tables played while everyone admired 30 different tables decorated with features from a chosen book. Introductions were made and a slide show showcased the Cat in the Hat festival that took place earlier in the week. Charlotte and Sarah Endorf, authors of By Train They Came, spoke to the audience as well. Kindergartners were recognized with all of the Kinderbooks they have made this year. A Tribute was made to Sandy Maybon for all of the work she does for the Madison County Museum. All attendees concluded the night by reading a Reading Oath. This event definitely began a reading adventure for the community of Madison.
