I can now confirm that the rumors are true. The rumors aren’t as exciting as the ones about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s love child or even the ones about Botox Mom. But they are true.

I’ll be with the Backwoods Home gang at the Mother Earth News Fair in Puyallup, Washington, on the weekend of June 4 & 5.

I’ll be there signing copies of Hardyville Tales and (if the Duffys permit) taking orders for any and all of my books from other publishers. (I can also take advance orders and hand your autographed copies to you at the fair.)

The event should be a great one with tons of displays, demonstrations, and workshops. Covered topics include “real food, renewable energy, small-scale agriculture, gardening, green building, green transportation and natural health.”

BHM and TMEN readers have a lot of interests in common — and a lot not in common. So accepting TMEN’s invitation to appear at the fair is an experiment for BHM and all of us who staff the BHM exhibit. Whatever happens, it should be interesting.

So c’mon down!

The Duffys kindly offered to pay my expenses and let me keep all revenues from sales of Hardyville Tales. Book sales will be my only income from the event, so if you can see your way to buying a copy or two from me, great. Even better if you also grab yourself some other BHM goodies for your pleasure and edification and to support the Duffys.

I’ll be announcing some show specials in the next few days.

But the main thing is, just come to the Puyallup Fairgrounds, south of Tacoma, enjoy the fair, and stop by the BHM booth and see us! I’ve already heard that a few “old friends I’ve never met” will be there. I’m very much looking forward to putting faces to the names and personalities.
