Pennwriters at Saucon Valley Farmer’s Market

July 6–Saucon Valley Farmer’s Market, Hellertown, PA–Four Pennwriters members found themselves selling their books at this year’s Power of the Pen Day at Saucon Valley Farmer’s Market. The weather was great and the crowd friendly. The event gave us an opportunity to let area consumers know about our organization as well as our work. Shelley Goldberg, The Market’s Representative sent us a wonderful message the following day:

“Thank you for sharing such an awesome day with the Saucon Valley Farmers’ Market. Your energy and talents were appreciated by all.
In peace & friendship,  Shelley Goldberg”

The organizers were most gracious and seemed anxious to have us back next year. That would probably be a good thing for Pennwriters and hopefully we’ll be able to do that. Thanks go to Jack Hillman for getting us organized. Here we are under the canopy, smiling and enjoying the day.
