Well, this week's box score reads RAIN 2, CONCERT 0. I'm disappointed that Sharon Abbott and John Wight won't get to entertain you in a regular concert but that doesn't mean you won't be able to hear them this whole season. Sharon often shows up at our yard sales (by the way our next one is Saturday July 15 though Sharon isn't available then) and serenades buyers. 

Speaking of concerts I want to alert you to the upcoming fundraiser for the Mount Airy Train Station Concert Series - Sunday July 24, 5-9 p.m. in the air conditioned comfort of the Brossman Center at the Lutheran Theological Seminary of Philadelphia right here in the heart of Mt. Airy. I am putting in this shameless plug for Walk a Palooza II (this is last year's flyer- new one coming soon) because this concert allows the community to pay for the concert series that so many of us enjoy. Please put the date on your calendar - just over two weeks away. If you can't make the concert and want to support the series you can drop by the shop and make a contribution, you can send a check payable to Walk a Crooked Mile Books Concert Account to us at Walk a Crooked Mile Books, 7423 Devon St. , or you can may a donation through paypal using our email address, wacmbook@aol.com.   Each of the 23 concerts costs us about $60-$70 in printing costs and time promoting the concerts and we just hope to recoup those costs. We won't travel to Costa Rica or Paris on the money- we promise. By the way, we also aren't a certifiable not-for-profit ( we're just not making much profit and trying to keep open anyway) and you can't deduct any conctribution - we just hope you'll help support this little corner of our wonderful Mt. Airy Chestnut Hill Community.

        Tomorrow, Saturday July 9 and Sunday July 10, I will be showing off our new outdoor TENT at the Third Annual Chestnut Hill Book Festival.  We will have some of the wonderful new books that have been coming in the shop set up on Germantown Avenue on the sidewalk right in front of The Stagecrafters Theater, next door to Bredenbeck's Bakery and Ice Cream. The festival has several features besides us. There are workshops and author panels and readings and even a singer/songwriter festival. Check out the schedule at www.chestnuthillbookfest.com. We'll be there from about 10 - 6 p.m. both days and would love to have you stop by. Cynthia will keep the shop open as usual on Saturday from 9 - 6:30.

Have a great weekend.

Greg and Cynthia
