The Thousand Islands Book Festival/Reading on the River is held in beautiful Cape Vincent on the St. Lawrence River.

I stayed at the lovely Maple Grove Bed and Breakfast.

The festival is only possible through the generous help of many friendly volunteers, including...

Well, Matt McElligott IS sitting right there, and he has markers.
