Spring is springing this Friday, March 20, and I’m happy to announce I’ll be signing books at a springtime event starting that Friday evening at 6 o’clock in the historic town of Oakland, Oregon, and running through Saturday, and Sunday afternoons, March 21, and 22. It’s the Spring Artists & Authors Open House and Showcase for the whole family with music and storytelling and sparkling cider with some sweet bits to eat. And the event is free.
In my previous experiences at Oakland events I’ve found that these Oaklanders hold delightful parties that can take you right into the past. This one will be held indoors at the 1905 Oakland Ice House, 212 SE Locust Street, a setting brimming with true history.
A personal aside: I’m also celebrating the completion of the rough draft for a new novel set in ancient Ireland, a sequel to the one my new literary agent is pitching to editors. I’ll have pictures of the Irish settings on display in Oakland.
For more information on Oakland’s springtime event check out the two posters below–one made specifically for me by program coordinator Conni Riley …
… and one for the full program.
The 1905 Oakland Ice House is just up the street from the old Stearns Hardware on the corner of Locust Street and SE 2nd Street pictured below, which as the sign says goes all the way back to the year 1887.
And there’s the beautiful old building across the street, pictured below, the Page & Dimmick Building that also takes a person into the past when strolling down Oakland’s center.
