The public is encouraged to come:
Live music and a lasagne feed will entertain guests while four silent auctions of art, jewelry, books, clothing, gift certificates, and baskets of other items will help raise money for a new building. A few specific items include: a Guy Noir mystery basket, a four-person silver salmon fishing charter, and Alaska memorabilia such as a genuine Fireplug sled dog stage race patch and an Ester-era Howling Dog Saloon bumpersticker.
The primary aim of the Book Bash is to raise funds for a new library building. The library has been expanding steadily both in its collections and membership since its founding eight and a half years ago, and the space that is now being rented has become too small. Property for the new library/community center in the village of Ester has been purchased, initial clearing done, and a gazebo begun; construction for the main library begins summer 2008.
The event will include the auctions, several musical performances, and a lasagne dinner with many delicious side dishes and desserts. Kate Billington, performance coordinator, has again engaged a wide variety of excellent local talent: guitarist Chuck Brainerd, jazz pianist Desmond Cole, the rock trio GRL Jam, and saxophonist Nelson Felix.
The library is part of the Ester Community Association, a nonprofit organization, and was founded in 1999. It was named after John Trigg, a local resident and an avid reader and storyteller who started a > local book exchange. Memberships, t-shirts, and construction > information will be available at the fundraiser. Donations are tax-deductible.
