Attendees will gather around the stage at 1:00pm to register as an entrant for the session. At 1:30, the entrants take the stage to show off their attire and share with the host the love of their charcater/book.

Winners will be decided by audience response.

What Charcater Can You Be?

A book character of course. but it can be fiction, non fiction- the more creative the better! Our friends over at Brick Cave Media actually created a Pinterest Board with ideas.
