I’m excited to kick off the Words of Warmth Literary Festival here in Happy Valley-Goose Bay tomorrow! The festival’s first event will be the much-anticipated Audiobooks Launch Party at Them Days, courtesy of Aimee Chaulk, Alexa Nicolle, and many others.
As a member of the organizing committee, I’ve been busy promoting the festival, both on social media and on Labrador Morning, CBC’s local radio station, including an interview today with John Gaudi and a May 15 interview with Rhivu Rashid. (Both are linked as podcasts.) I’ve also reproduced the poster below, for posterity. 😉 Funding comes from ArtsNL and the Year of the Arts program through a grant to the Eastern Labrador Arts Alliance, who run the Lawrence O’Brien Arts Centre. Many thanks to them for enabling us to make this festival happen! I became a board member there too about a month or so ago, and it’s already proven to be a rewarding experience.
