Cleveland is home to many talented writers, creators, journalists, historians, and spinners of fantasy. Every year at Author Alley, we host more than two dozen of these scribes for you to meet and greet! It's Festival day on Larchmere, so there's plenty to do and see, lots of networking to weave, and both new and famous authors to meet, greet, and sign books. For details on this year's event, please visit our Author Alley webpage: http://www.loganberrybooks.com/events/author-alley.htm

Join us for our 12th annual Larchmere Festival on Saturday, July 6th from 10am to 5pm, and then stick around for some music.  We've come a long way from our first community festival, and we've edged out some quirky aspects that you won't find at any other festival in town - like our extensive Author Alley with as many as 50 participants, a Chess Challenge, Martial Arts demonstrations, a wide mix of craft, antique, vintage and recycled items, fashion boutiques and home grown community organizations. Come and support our up and coming entrepreneurs.
