Last Thursday night, the Botetourt Historical Society hosted a book signing and art showing at the Botetourt Museum in Fincastle.
Authors Jean Robbins and Gail McMillan were on hand to sign their book, Dear Nannie . . . yours devotedly, Charlie. The book is a combination of history, recipes, and love story.
Artist Mark Woodie, whose detailed artworks of Botetourt County are coveted by many, was also on hand to sell his work.
I went to have my book signed. My mother-in-law had given it to me as a present last Christmas.
They had an impressive turn-out. You can order the book through the
Botetourt Historical Society or go by the Museum and pick up a copy.

ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed a nice evening out!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that you picked an excellent event to attend, after not being out for so long! Looks like it was a great turn-out, and how nice to spend time with old friends (and new!).
