We had a great time at Scuppernong Books in Greensboro October 4. It was a beautiful Friday evening, perfect to be out and about. The store was hopping with all kinds of interesting activities (including participatory budgeting, which lets city residents age 14 and up vote on which projects to fund with $100k—pretty cool approach). Scuppernong is a lovely space with loads of new books (of course) and a nice used book section. We had a great time talking with customers and even the City’s budgeting folks!
We debuted our new Chicken Haiku 2020 Calendar at Scuppernong. One of our funnest conversations of the evening was with a young man in about 7th grade. He saw the calendars and his eyes lit up. “I have to get one for my dad—he has chickens!” He told us all about his dad’s chickens and school and the books he likes to read (sci-fi and fantasy—good boy). It was just a pleasure to see that excitement about reading and chickens. The calendars were indeed the big hit of the evening. And they are now available on Etsy.
Thanks to Scuppernong for hosting us. If you are in Greensboro, be sure to stop in to Scuppernong, where you can purchase the hardback version of Chicken Haiku.
