Tickets are $85 per person. An order form can be downloaded and must be postmarked by Feb. 24, 2012.
Featured authors are Susan Straight, Take One Candle Light a Room; Fannie Flagg of Candid Camera and author of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe; Altadenan Michelle Huneven, former award-winning restaurant and food critic for the Los Angeles Times and Los Angeles Weekly; Heidi Durrow, one of Ebony Magazine’s Power 100 Leaders of 2010 and author of The Girl Who Fell from the Sky; and moderator and best-selling novelist Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey.
MonteCedro, a planned Episcopal Communities & Services Continuing Care Retirement Community, is the presenting sponsor of the event. Peggy Buchanan, Director of Sales and Marketing at MonteCedro, is a co-chair of the Festival committee.
