2011 - Edible Book Festival
Booth Library’s first Edible Book Festival
Event organizer: Todd Bruns
The first Edible Book Festival was a great success. There were 26 entries, including pieces from library staff, students, faculty, and retirees. The entries ran the gamut from whimsical to thought-provoking, and there was a very high level of creativity and craftsmanship.
Festival attendees could vote for their favorite exhibit and due to the high quality of the pieces nearly every entry received votes. There were so many quality entries that we decided that next year we should have awards in more categories. This year the winners were:
Dean's Choice Gold Medal - "The Sexual Politics of Meat" by Ellen Corrigan
Dean's Choice Silver Medal - "Naked Lunch" by Stacey Knight-Davis
People's Choice Gold Medal (Most Votes) - "Stone Soup" by Jacqui Worden
People's Choice Silver Medal - "Pet Sematary" by Terri Strong
There were several Honorable Mentions as well. Each Honorable Mention got a Booth Library book-bag:
"Miles and Miles of Reptiles" by Laura Mullin
"House of Cards" by Kai Hung
"Harry Potter" by Jeanne Goble and Johna Von Behrens
Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone who participated and/or attended and made the festival a fun event. I hope you were inspired to think about your entry for next year!
