The Final Day of the Fair

The booth has been set up and author Stacey Longo is talking with Michael, the newest person promoting the Hartford Courant next door, while he browses the books to see if he can use them in an English class.

Today, the booth will be hosting authors Longo, Kurt Newton, Nathan Wrann, Kristi Petersen Schoonover, Jennifer Yarter-Polmatier, and ghost hunter Nathan Schoonover. The fair opens at 9 a.m. and closes this evening at 8 p.m. Come on by and meet some interesting people. You won’t regret it.

It has been a lot of fun having a booth at the Hebron Harvest Fair. I have only gone though a few of Longo’s stress balls promoting her website, www.staceylongo.com. Who knew you could squeeze a stress ball to the point where it has become ineffective.

The Second Day at the Hebron Harvest Fair

The second day at the fair was even more successful than the first. A number of books were sold. The authors were meeting a lot of people and having fun. One thing I found out that Kristi Petersen Schoonover, author of Skeletons in the Swimmin’ Hole, is a marketing genius. She was giving out copies of stories and this was drawing fairgoers to the booth. One recipient of a story came back to tell her thank you and that she enjoyed the story. Schoonover had other ideas too and I plan to use them in the future for other NEHW events. The NEHW will be making more appearances in Connecticut and in New England.
