NA Event Watch: 5th Anniversary of Destinations Booksellers, Sunday, October 18.

HH and FF have concluded, but downtown New Albany events aren't dissipating. Speaking of dissipation, there'll be time for a Bloody Mary and/or craft beer at Bank Street Brewhouse before the Destinations affair begins at two.

Fifth Anniversary ... with Garth Stein, Enzo and Friends

NEW ALBANY, Ind. - Oct. 12 - This is just a quick reminder to all our friends and fans about next Sunday's very special event with New York Times bestselling author Garth Stein.

Previous e-mails provide details, but please join us under the Big Tent starting at noon. We'll have giveaways, special announcements, tours of the new Dueling Grounds Cafe, special guests, live music, pet massage, a parade of dogs in the Enzo lookalike contest, and then, at 2 p.m., our friend Garth, whom we met in January of 2008 before he became one of the hottest novelists in America.

We're so very happy to be celebrating our fifth anniversary with you and with Garth, and virtually with our favorite fictional character, Enzo. If you've already purchased The Art of Racing in the Rain, be sure to bring it to be signed.

Floyd County Animal Rescue League continues to partner with us on this event and everyone who brings a can or package of pet food for their programs can take a discount on the purchase of the paperback.
