Hello Readers,
I went to the Texas Book Festival on Sunday to photograph for
The Austinot and had a wonderful time. For people like me who love paper books, this was the place to be. There were authors, books, cooking displays, music and food trucks. The festival was actually two days, Saturday and Sunday. I thought the majority of people would attend Saturday, but there were actually a lot of people there Sunday. The event itself was free, you just had to purchase the books and food. There are books for adults, children, cooking, history, photography and more.
Upon receiving my Media pass, I went straight to the book signing tent. There were about 15 authors there signing books for people.

After the Signing Tent, I went to the Capitol to see Norman Lear speak. He is an amazing man and a legend.

After listening to Norman Lear speak, I went to the Children's tent where Ziggy Marley read his book "I Love You Too". After he read his book, he signed some for the fans before heading off to do a concert.

After Ziggy, I strolled around checking out all the cool things the festival had to offer. If you haven't been to the book festival, I highly recommend you go next time. If you go, bring water, cash and a backpack for books, wear comfy shoes and review the schedule before you go. There are events for the kids, yummy food at the food trucks and if you don't go in the Capitol, you can bring your dog.
