Edible Books! Sunday April 1st at 2pm.

WHAT?  The only rule is that you create something entirely edible based on a book, book title or literary theme.
WHO?  EVERYONE!! Kids, adults and families are invited to bring in their creations!
WHAT ELSE?  Fiddle music with Fiona Shea and Madeleine Stewart!
WHEN?   April 1st starting at 2pm in the Community Room of the Hopkinton Town Library. Tables will be set up by 1pm so you can bring in your "edible book".  All are welcome at this family event, even if you haven't made an edible book!
WHY?  To celebrate books and libraries (and because it will be fun!)
The International Edible Book Festival is a creation of Judith A. Hoffberg and Beatrice Coron. The first festival took place in 2000 and has been taking place at venues around the world ever since, usually on April 1st, the birthday of French gastronome Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1862).  Do a web search on "edible books" or "books2eat" to find out more.

Pictures from our previous Edible Books Fair are here.
