It's the last official day of the 2012 Fox Cities Book Festival, so get on out there and enjoy the final events! You won't want to miss James Balog, Bill Strickland (Fox Cities Reads author), Deborah Blum, or The Unpolished Gems. Check the schedule for times and venues.

It's National Volunteer Week, so we want to give a shout out to all of the amazing volunteers who help the Festival run smoothly. They meet, they greet, they survey and smile. They drive authors, sell books, count heads at programs, and more. We are so very thankful for our volunteers!

Miss Jay Gilbertson while he was at the Book Festival? Well, you're in luck! Enjoy a brief snippet of his presentation in which he describes a humerous story about his latest research for his new series.

So, here's a good news/bad news situation.

The bad news is that the Tunes & Tales benefit concert featuring Cory Chisel has been sold out and tickets are no longer available. The good news is that the Tunes & Tales benefit concert has been sold out and your support for the Festival is overwhelming! Thank you for your interest in this wonderful event, and our apologies to those who will be unable to attend the event.

We apologize for these errors and any inconveniences they may cause as people make their way to see our authors.

Please note:

• Diane Ackerman will, in fact, be appearing at noon on April 11 at UW-Fox Valley for a Craft Talk and Q&A. She also will be appearing at Appleton Public Library at 6:30 p.m on April 11 for her Book Talk and Q&A.
• Patrick Rothfuss will be appearing at UW-Fox Valley at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 12 for his Book Talk and Q&A (he will not be at Appleton Public Library as is listed in some materials).

When 2012 Fox Cities Book Festival author Steven Faulkner and his 17-year-old son Justin began retracing the 1,000-mile Marquette/Joliet journey, they were only tourists on a two-month holiday. But as their journey unfolded from the straits of Mackinac, they discovered why it had been 300 years since anyone had attempted to re-create this epic voyage through Green Bay, up the Fox River, down the Wisconsin River and finally to the mighty Mississippi and St. Louis.

Waterwalk, the book, tells their story, and in April, the film of the story will be released. Find out more at http://www.waterwalkthemovie.com/index.html.
