  3. Eat Your Words at Edible Book Event
     Fans of literature are invited to make, bake, or build edible facsimiles of their favorite books at the annual Edible Books Party, sponsored by the Blaze Fund, at Kelly Writers House on Tuesday, October 13, at 5:30 p.m. Get creative with food – make your entry look like a book jacket or a pun on the book’s title – and compete for prizes in one of several categories. Work solo or as part of a team. Register to participate in this free, fun event.
