Jax Store in Fort Collins holding regional author recognition day Sept. 12

This came via the wyomingwriters e-list on yahoo.com:

My name is Dan Bonomo. I am writing on behalf of Jax Mercantile Co.

We are holding a local author recognition day at our Jax Farm and Ranch store, 1000 Hwy. 287 north of Fort Collins, Colo., on Saturday, Sept. 12.

We have already contacted all of the authors we carry who we know to live locally, but wanted to get the word out to as many local authors as possible.The event will be held Sept. 12 at the Jax Farm and Ranch store.There will be a book signing from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. with coffee and rolls served before the signing starts. We will provide name tags, tables, and space to sell books and mingle with other local authors, and booklovers.

Additionally, we will be advertising the event in our regular print channels, as well as online.

Authors should bring books for sale, cash for change and a credit card machine if they accept credit cards. This will be a free event, and Jax will not be expecting any royalties from the books sold at the event.

If you would like to pass this information along to your authors living primarily in Laramie and Cheyenne in Wyoming and the Colorado towns of Boulder, Greeley, Estes Park, Loveland, Windsor, Longmont, Berthoud, Walden, and Wellington, we would be very appreciative.

RSVP by contacting Lola Quinlan at lquinlan@jaxmercantile.com or info@jaxmercantile.com or 1-800-336-8314.
