Trivia Night at The Three Broomsticks

Get your wizarding on, and come to a simulated Three Broomsticks for Trivia Night! We’ll provide refreshments (including homemade, non-alcoholic butterbeer) while teams vie for the coveted Trivia-Wizard Cup! You can come as a team, or come on your own and we’ll put teams together. This trivia will be led pub-style, three rounds of questions with possible bonuses in between. Hey, it’s magic, anything could happen …

4th Annual Author Meet & Greet

Noon Saturday, Oct. 19

Every year it gets bigger and better! This year 22 local authors representing several different genres will be on-hand. Meet them one-on-one, buy a book or two and stay for a lively panel discussion, followed by an audience Q&A session. This year’s topic is “How Has Writing Changed Your Life?” In addition to the authors, this year we’re pleased to have members of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators joining us. Whether you are an aspiring author or just love books as much as we do, this is one event you won’t want to miss!
