The Mount Dora event series
Authors in the Park continues with its Second Annual “Spring into Art” festival,
Saturday, March 29 at Long and Scott’s Farm in Mount Dora, FL., event chairman
Mark Miller announced today. The Authors in the Park group celebrates literacy
while promoting local and independent authors from Lake County, Central Florida
and beyond. (www.authorsinthepark.com)
The event, scheduled from 11 a.m.
to 2 p.m., will be the first time the group has held an event at Long and
Scott’s Farm at 26216 County Road 448A, Mount Dora, Miller said.
“We are extremely excited, not
only to be at Long and Scott’s, but because this year’s event will feature both
authors and artists,” Miller said. “Long and Scott’s is known for Zellwood
Sweet Corn and their fall corn maze as well as being a great supporter of their
community.” (www.longandscottfarms.com)
Spring into Art will feature over
twenty authors and artists. A wide variety of books will be for sale in all
genres and ages, as well as exclusive artwork. Some of the paintings are slated
to be sold for charity.
In addition to great books and
art, representatives for Team Jay will be on hand, Miller, an author himself,
said. Team Jay is a project of the Lake County Firefighters Charity to benefit
young Jay, the son of a firefighter currently battling Leukemia. (www.lakefirefightercharity.org)
The outdoor event is free to
attend, Miller pointed out. Authors and artists alike will be available to
discuss their writing, sign autographs and enjoy a day on the farm. Some author
proceeds will be donated to Team Jay and other worthy organizations, he said.
Scott’s Country Café will be open for lunch.
