I think I’ve just come down from the sugar high of Sunday’s 2nd Annual Edible Book Festival here at the library! The entries were fantastic this year. So many books were represented: The Lightning Thief, To Kill a Mockingbird, 10 Little Rubber Ducks, and many more. And we had a few “edible Lincoln” entries, too! Our judges Trudy Riddell, Mariah Stewart and Mrs. Mary Todd Lincoln had a difficult time deciding who to choose as our winners. And once the winners were announced – Adult winner: Charlotte’s Web by Megan Moran; Teen winner: Whitewashing a Fence by Karly Feinberg; Child winner: A Dog Called Kitty by Vanessa Clark; Group winner: Where the Wild Things Are by The Fabik Family; Most Original winner: Old Yeller by Cathy and Sarah Gach; Edible Lincoln winner: George Washington Welcomes Abraham Lincoln to Heaven by Kimberly Gibson; and the People’s Choice winner: Where the Wild Things Are by the Fabik family – we dug in and ate the entries! Check out pictures from the event at our Flickr account. And start thinking of your entry ideas for next year, when we hold our 3rd Annual Edible Book Festival on Sunday March 28, 2010!
