Festival of Books
By Gary Meyer
Former Frazier Park Rotary President Paul Cadman was visibly shaken as he described how he’d been deceived by three boys pretending to need origami instruction at the Rotary Club’s Festival of Books on Saturday, Sept. 17.
“Here I was, showing the kids how to make origami whales when these three brothers sat down and produced very complex birds and squirrels!” Cadman said with a touch of humorous exasperation in his voice. “They’re ringers!” he said, defending his honor.
A lunch of delicious pizza, muffins, soda and water was served; a pirate read stories of reckless adventure on the high seas and families kept arriving to browse numerous tables full of hundreds of books, taking them home for free.
Don’t miss it next year!
