Christmas on the Clyde in Lanark, ON

It’s been ages since I’ve been to Lanark. I’ve been close twice this year when I did shows at McDonalds Corners but never quite made it here. Christmas on the Clyde has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?

The Civitan Club isn’t right in Lanark but just on the outskirts. Lovely big hall and my table was front and centre as people came in the door. I thought that would be the perfect place and I’d sell books hand over fist. Nice thought… but it didn’t quite turn out that way.

I had asked for a place where I could set up my easel and not affect foot traffic. The way the hall was set up, it worked perfectly.

Still, I met lots of interesting people and sold some books. Gotta like that part of it. By the end of the day, I sold 2 copies of Tim’s Magic Christmas and 1 copy of The Consequences Collection – the woman who bought it didn’t have enough cash with her in the morning and made a point of coming back in the afternoon before the sale ended so she could snag a copy for herself.

I’ll be back again next year… that is, if they’ll have me.

  1. I’m happy you sold some books Melanie. From past experience any time we have been at the entrance we didn’t do as well.

  2. I can believe that after yesterday’s experience. Folks walk in see a whole room full of goodies and by the time they get back, they’ve spent all of their money. Thanks for stopping by.
