The literary festival is a first for the Andersen Enrichment
Center.
”We wanted to host a fun family event that would
get people involved in reading,” says Hall, who
lives in Saginaw Township, ”and to also give the
public an idea of literature that has been written by people
in our area.”
Ten authors are slated to attend, with many of them also
presenting half-hour lectures, along with other writing- or
reading-related groups.
The schedule of presentations is as follows:
t 1:30 p.m., members of the River Junction Poets read from
their works.
t 2 p.m., Saginaw Public Schools students will talk about
their book ”Making Words Count,” a
collaboration involving Webber Elementary School and Arthur
Hill High School.
t 2:30 p.m., Pinner, who lives in Buena Vista Township,
subtitled her cookbook ”An Uncommon Collection of
Womanish Observations With Pies,” and it includes
childhood memories and observations along with recipes from
the author and several Saginaw women.
