When like minds come together exciting conversations take place. I went to the Festival this past weekend in Burnsville, North Carolina. It’s a charming mountain town beautifully laid out. The large square in the center has a statue of namesake Otway Burns hero of the War of 1812-1814. Buildings important to the town line the outer rim of the square.
Saturday sessions with authors were complimented with live music in the town square. There’s plenty of lawn that folks could spread out a blanket or pop open a chair. BBQ dinners were offered, too. The music was loud enough to be heard but not so loud to be disruptive.
Some literary sessions were entertaining, some were panel discussions, some were talks by authors. Several different writers piqued my curiosity further. Naturally I had to browse the books available to buy in the Town Community Center, got them signed during the lunch or before-dinner break. I came home with a book bag full. Oh, well. At least they don’t add inches to my abundant waistline.
