Hey, all y’all crackers! Don’t forget to come out to Lake Helen tomorrow, for the Florida Authors Book Fair. It promises to be a great day to be out and about, and a great event. More than 20 Florida authors will talk Florida literature and history with you 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at Hopkins Hall, at the corner of Euclid and Connecticut.
At 2 p.m., Herb Hiller will talk photography and his book Highway A1A: Florida on the Edge
“In case of Rapture, Can I Have Your Car?”
To make a good day a great day, our friend, singer-songwriter Rog Lee ,will be there in the afternoon. He’s a Florida poet who sets his poems of Florida to his own music. Among his awards are the 2008 Will McLean Best New Song award for his song “City of Jacksonville,” one of my favorites. In other songs, he pokes fun at developers and hoo-haws, or people who ride around with “Rapture” bumper stickers on their Cadillacs. Or the joys of Lake Monroe.
