Fifty-six authors showed up to sign books Saturday morning at the 4th Annual Author Extravaganza according to Becky Smith, manager of the Town Crier Bookstore in downtown Emporia.
That’s a lot of peeps – and the store isn’t all that big. But they moved the movable displays into the back room, brought in tables and chairs and at 11:00 a.m., the fun officially began.
