NEWS AND EVENTS
At the “Book Fun in the Sun” event, 10% of the day’s sales at Culver’s will go to the Spring Green Literary Festival. Scoopie, the Culver’s mascot will be on hand, along with summer reading lists, and a chance to win a set of the LitFest books. Anyone registering for the Festival that day will receive a free Value Meal, and we also will be handing out book covers to all ages, which can be returned to Culver’s throughout the summer in exchange for free custard. There will be other surprises, too. Please come on Saturday, June 13, and support us.

All who reside in or near the River Valley are invited. This is excellent preparation for the literary festival in September. The Book Club meets from 7:00-8:30 p.m.

In late 2005, David and Eileen Roeder, owners of Tranquility Canoes gracefully consented to give the Spring Green Literary Festival one of their Serenity canoes to raffle.
Between April and October 2006, members of the Spring Green Literary Festival board of directors sold over $5,000 worth of tickets, through rain, heat, and cold. On October 22, 2006, the canoe, Serenity #42, was awarded to Ruth Venable from Beloit, Wisconsin. She purchased her winning ticket at the Spring Green Arts and Crafts Fair in June. The Spring Green Literary Festival Board is deeply grateful to the makers of Tranquility Canoes for their generosity in donating this beautiful, functional work of art. With the proceeds, the board can continue to attract the best authors and poets to the annual literary festival. |
