The sale was a success. We set the record! Not as high as we had hoped, as our goal was to sell all 8,144 romances (our count). We did fall a bit short, and will continue the sale til the end of the month or until all are sold. Many new faces graced our space and the whole day was a pretty good party. We put out a call to artists and would like to see a broad range of art works utilizing a romance novel. The only requirement is that a romance novel be used in the creation. A jury will select a winner based on creativity, ingenuity, and execution. Art works are to be submitted to Colette's by close of business March 31st (7pm) to give the jury time to decide and nearly two weeks to display them prior to the April art walk, when a people's choice pick will be awarded.
The Buccaneers will bring their eclectic mix of folk, celtic, bluegrass, and sea chanties ("Rocky Mountain Root Music") to our stage on March 21st at 7:30 pm. Door charge is $12, which all goes to the artists.

Wish I'd thought about this when I had a book store and was trying to eliminate the romance novels. I swear they multiply overnight!
Well, I missed it (was away for the wknd)
but the romance I see is the romance between this wonderful couple and the rest of our community. They have opened a place where we can all stop by to be connected.
A newsletter is planned with a calendar of community events - let Jessica or Jerry know of yours!
Glad the event was a success. Sounds like the future events will be also.
Only goes to show that ideas put into action can produce good results.
Keep up the good work.
