This Week @ Monday Creek: Hocking Hills Book Fair

 


Come for the books, stay for the community, and leave with inspiration. 

On Saturday, October 19th, immerse yourself in the literary wonderland of the Hocking Hills Book Fair!

Brought to you by Monday Creek Publishing, this enchanting event unfolds within the storied walls of the LoganTheater and Community Center on Main Street, Logan.

Prepare to be dazzled by over 30+ authors from around Ohio, each offering their unique tales and treasures on the third floor of this historic venue. Whether you're a dedicated bookworm or a casual reader, this event welcomes everyone with open arms.

Event Hours: 11 AM - 3 PM 🎤 Author Readings: Main Stage, throughout the day.

But wait, there's more! Do you have a hidden poet or storyteller within you? We invite you to share your work with an eager audience. Bring a poem or an excerpt from your writings and seize the chance to captivate listeners. No need to pre-register just sign up on the day of the event.

In preparation, I wandered Logan’s charming Main Street, seeking support from local businesses to create a warm, inviting atmosphere for our visiting authors and attendees. Here’s a peek into my journey:

🚶‍♂️ First stop, the Hocking Hills Welcome Center. The folks here, ever so friendly and knowledgeable about all things Hocking Hills, were thrilled to display our Book Fair flyers. Their unwavering support is truly appreciated!

✏️ Next up, a quick visit to the quirky Pencil Sharpener Museum—a gem just across from the Welcome Center. Look out for a future blog post featuring this unique spot!

🛍️ Over to Logan Antique Mall, where the generous manager gifted us a “grab bag” of delightful items for an author giveaway/door prize.

As I explored uptown, my mission continued—finding perfect lunch spots and discounts for our authors. Main Street restaurants welcomed us with open arms. A big shoutout to Maya Burrito for the 20% off coupon for every author and to Savings Hardware for donating quality items for our giveaways!

Special thanks to all businesses that contributed to our welcome package! Your kindness is deeply appreciated, and we promise to “pay it forward.”

During my uptown stroll, I also visited the Columbus Washboard Co., a charming store that boasts a variety of washboards, Hocking Hills souvenirs, candles, and more. They even offer ice cream and luncheon specialties —perfect for a mid-event treat!

We can't wait to see you at the Hocking Hills Book Fair on Saturday, October 19th from 11 AM to 3 PM at the Logan Theater and Community Center.

🎁 Book Fair Patrons: Receive a FREE 2025 Calendar and Creative Journal/Scrapbook Pack to ignite your creativity. Special thanks to CPC Ink, Marietta, Ohio, for providing top-notch supplies. Grab your Calendar and Creative Pack while supplies last!
