[ISLMA-Share] Book Feast

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I've done an Edible Book Festival for four years now at our 6-8 school and
it is always a success!  We have around 30-40 entries each year between
students and staff members and have several different categories (best at
each grade level/staff, funniest, best Caudill).  We also have games going
on as well as raffle prizes for the evening event.

If you want more information about our event, feel free to email me
