Laurel Ridge to host second annual Holiday Book Fair on Nov. 29

Laurel Ridge has decided to write a sequel to its successful 2022 Holiday Book Fair. The college announces this year’s fair will be 4:30 – 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 29, in the Corron Community Development Center on the Middletown Campus.

“We hosted our first Holiday Book Fair last year, and had a staggering 60-plus authors on hand to celebrate storytelling in the local community,” says development officer Andy Gyurisin. “This demonstrated to us that there is a strong desire for an event like this within the Laurel Ridge Community College footprint. So, we’ve decided to bring it back again this year.

“With an earlier start time, we hope to further engage students, faculty and staff, and book lovers alike to join us for a literary evening. Buying a book signed by one of your favorite authors not only gives back to the community, but also makes for a fantastic holiday gift.”

Authors can rent a table at the event for just $5. To learn more or sign up for an author’s table, visit laurelridge.edu/bookfair. For further information, contact Gyurisin at andy@laurelridge.edu, or (540) 664-5027.
