    Baton Rouge Hosts Literary Celebration with the Louisiana Book Festival

    By icapturedit  |  Posted October 17, 2009  |  Baton Rouge, Louisiana
     

    Today, October 17, the 2009 Louisiana Book Festival is being held in downtown Baton Rouge.

     

    The event attracts hundreds of authors from around the country from celebrity authors--like Rick Bragg--to local, Louisiana-based authors--such as Vicki Allen.

     

    Bragg is promoting his latest book titled The Most They Ever Had, in which he shares real-life stories of the Jacksonville, Alabama's blue-collared community and the people who lived and died by an American cotton mill.

     

    Allen, a practicing pharmacist from Rapides Parish,  is currently on a four-state book tour to promote her fourth novel, Drink One To Me, Christian Bennett, the story of young American journalist who travels to Mexico with her brother when she attracts the unwanted attention of a legendary drug lord.

     

    The beautiful fall day and absence of an LSU football game made way for crowds of book fans to enjoy everything from author meet and greets to pumpkin art.

     

    The Louisiana Book Festival is a one-day celebration being held at the Louisiana State Capitol, State Library of Louisiana & Louisiana State Museum located at Spanish Town Road at N. 4th Street Baton Rouge.
