Stamfordite Rich Arruzza, who writes the Sparky’s Adventures children’s series.
Last night I was at Torrington’s Main Street Marketplace. I was lucky enough to be in the Library’s tent as part of the Torrington Author Expo withSpotted Rick.
You’ve really got to hand it to Arruzza; he was dressed head to toe in white with black spots, just like his dog, Sparky.
The sign for Torrington’s Warner Theater.
I really want to thank the Torrington Library for allowing me to do this. It was a beautiful evening and a great time. I met an aspiring video game creator, talked to several other writers and had a wonderful conversation about books and literature with a couple who love books so much that they’re getting territorial about the remaining bookshelf space in their home. (This is something my husband and I can relate to.)
I only have a few photos up here. For more, head to my Facebook Author Page.
For those who live in Litchfield County in Connecticut and who want to go: The Marketplace is a weekly event held by Torrington, CT. The town shuts down Main Street every Thursday from 5-9 p.m. in the summer and brings in vendors and entertainment. It’s pretty incredible. I grew up near Torrington and its downtown is looking way better than I remember.
