The Desert Foothills Book Festival was created by a group of local authors to connect with book lovers and to promote literacy.
“Our goal is to create a positive environment that promotes a passion for reading,” festival committee chair Caren Cantrell explained, “while raising funds for a children’s literacy program.”
Proceeds from the event will fund the nonprofit “Creative Kids: Tell Me a Story,” a workshop where children learn to write and illustrate their own books.
There will also be book giveaways and gift basket raffles.
