A well-known businesswoman-turned author is experiencing a dream come true. Angie Harris is launching not one but two books on the same night.
Harris has planned a unique and fun-filled event to mark the occasion.
"We are excited to invite you and your family to a special celebration, as we launch two magical children's books: ‘Finding Fred Experiences an Ozark Mountain Christmas’ and ‘Papa's Magic Day,’” Harris explained.
The theme for the evening is Step into the Story.
Said Harris," We have created an interactive experience for each book that will make you feel as if you've walked right into the pages. Special activities will bring each story to life in ways you won't forget."
"Each book will have its own story time area, complete with themed rugs, life-sized cutouts from the stories and special guests reading the books every 20 minutes," Harris continued. "ASL interpreters will be present to make the event inclusive for everyone."
Each story will have a larger-than-life scene that you can step into for photo opportunities. An assortment of delicious treats will be given out, and door prizes and giveaways are also tied to the two story lines.
"For fans of ‘Papa's Magical Day,’ we'll give away a large panda plush bear, just like the one Baby Duck holds dear throughout her journey," explained Harris. "’In Finding Fred Experiences an Ozark Mountain Christmas,’ Fred receives a guitar for Christmas, and we're giving you a chance to win a Fender guitar - complete with a case, stand and autographs from Branson entertainers."
Some of those entertainers will be in attendance at the double book signing, including representatives from The Duttons, The Haygoods, the Clay Cooper Country Express, The Baldknobbers and the Hughes Brothers Christmas Show.
Both books will be available for purchase, at a very special price, and Harris will be on hand to sign the books, as will the Branson entertainers.
The free event is set for Tuesday, October 22, 5 to 7 p.m. at the Stone Castle Hotel, 3050 Green Mountain Drive in Branson.
"We cannot wait to share these stories and this magical night," said Harrs. "But, if you cannot make it to the event, the Baby Duck will be hosting a Facebook Live so you can participate in the activities, at https://facebook.com/angieleahharris/
