PARISOT LITERARY FESTIVAL
OCTOBER 10, 11th and 12th
This is to remind you that the second bilingual Parisot Literary Festival is just a few weeks away.
I hope you have had a minute to look at the programme on our web sitewww.festilitt.com or in one of the many printed copies that we have been distributing in libraries and shops over the last few weeks. The programme is very varied and we think and hope there is something for everyone.
The festival team is busy working on all the organisation needed to ensure everything runs smoothly - transport for our authors, reserving seats in restaurants for Saturday and Sunday lunch, sending out invitations to local ‘dignatories’ for the opening eventon Friday night (in French), setting up teams to provide refreshments on Saturday andSunday afternoon (thank you to the very generous volunteers), sourcing, collecting and pricing book donations for our second hand book sale, looking for something ‘Poldark’ can use for cooking, and a million other things. After all this effort we hope you will have a seamless and enjoyable experience!
We are particularly pleased with the response to our search for books for our second hand book sale. We had an initial target of 500, are already up to 700 (English and French) and are heading for 1000. If you have any books you would like to contribute please let us know on info@festilitt.com. The books will be sold for 1, 2 or 3€, will need to be in good condition, not too old and worth buying. The sale will be in the mairie all day on Saturday and Sunday and the proceeds will be a great help in the financing of the festival.
Don’t forget to keep an eye on our blog which has been running for the last couple of months giving all the latest English and French news about the festival –festivallitteraire.blogspot.fr.
I very much hope you will come and join us and help to make this second festival a big success. Please also forward this to anyone you know who might be interested to come along.
I hope to see you there!
Kind regards.
