Indie Bound 'Round Bookstore Shop Hop
August 18 to 21
Book lovers took to the road during our first ever Shop Hop! Participating bookstores were Sister Wolf, Beagle Books & Bindery (Park Rapids,) Cherry Street Books (Alexandria), and Bookin' It (Little Falls).
Each store had a goodie bag for shop hoppers, and we all had authors signing. Shop hoppers who visited all four stores were entered in a drawing for our fabulous prizes. Prizes were provided through generous support of the event from our publisher friends.
