The Book Eating Party Raffle

It was an exciting and well-attended Book Eating Party yesterday! What a truly wonderful time seeing the wide range of edible books everyone brought in and the crowds that came to appreciate them! And also seeing what was created at the build-your-own station was a genuine delight! So much marveling and smiles at the unpredictable combinations of ingredients and book titles! HUGE THANKS to everyone who attended, who donated items to our impressive raffle, who brought in books to share, who told their friends, who purchased tickets, who can’t wait til next year’s Book Eating Party! Please stay tuned for more upcoming events with Szozda Gallery and Salt City Book Arts at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Szozda-Gallery/177944902223240 and http://saltcitybookarts.blogspot.com/
We would like to publicly thank our sponsors of the raffle prizes. Thank you, Bill Delavan, Nathan Wellner, Reg Sanford, Peter Verheyen, Amy Komar, and AIGA Upstate. Also immense thanks to Cayetano Valenzuela for the quintessential illustration that has been the face of the party and to Mozart and Mike of Underground Poetry Spot for bringing us a thought-provoking performance. With your generosity and support, we have achieved more fuel to keep offering cultural events like this in Syracuse, supporting our community of artists, bookbinders, letterpressers, printmakers, designers, photographers, painters, sculptors, potters, all inspired workers and businesses that support us. We are a vibrant community with so much to offer! Together, we create the place we want to live in. Thank you.
