By Julia Johnson Yesterday    in    Billings    started    High Plaints   BookFest.   We   already   wrote about   history   and   schedule   of   it. And now    time    to    focus    why    it    is    so important don’t miss that event. #1    The   chance   to   meet   and   connect with   authors   from   Montana,   another states and Canada. #2 The   great   thing   about the          High          Plaints BookFest   is   that   you   first find           out           funny, fascinating   and   unknown details    about    new    book and      its      author.      For example      Jamie      Ford told    that    when    he    was teenager,   he   fall   in   love with   two   pretty   girls   who were         tweens.         But unfortunately    for    him    girls    crush    on h  i  s    best   friend. And   once   on   skate   party h  e    wanted   to   invite   for   last   slow   skate- dance   one   of   the   tweens,   but   they both     already     danced     with     his friend.   “After   that   night   I   become   a writer”,      -      with      smile      Jamie admitted.   After    this    story    leaked o   u   t     in   Internet   both   sisters   connected w  i  t  h    author   and   said   that   they   were v  e  r  y    wrong    many    years    ago.    In    the end   it was   agreed   to   meet   for   skating   if t   h   e   y     e   v   e   r     would   be   in s   a   m   e     city. Another          author          from Montana   J ohn   Clayton   told about            how            bears transformed    for    visitors    of Yellowstone        Park        from biggest   fear   into   show   (in   50th   they loved   to   see   how   bears   eat   from   the garbage cans). #3 You    can    bring    the    whole    family. Children   and   families   have   plenty   to enjoy   with   a   whole   stage   dedicated   to children and young-adult authors. #4   Possibility   to   cry,   to   laugh,   to   better understand   yourself   and   women   as well    by    visiting    A    Reading    on    her own .   Woman   are   very   strong.   They can   tell   about   theirs   pain   and   suffer with smile... #5 More   than   just   books   —   add   music   and poetry, too. A true festival of the arts.
