Dianne Christner, author of the Plain City Bridesmaids series that is set here in Plain City, will be stopping in Plain City to promote the series’ first two books, Something Old and Something New. She will be available to sign books from 5 pm to 7:30 pm on Saturday, April 21, at Der Dutchman Restaurant and Carlisle Gifts.

The third book in the series, Something Blue, will be available in August.

You can read the blog postings I did previously about Something Old and Something New.

I have to thank Dianne who kindly sent me an advance copy of Something New for my reading delight after I reviewed the first book in the series here on this blog and we emailed back and forth. With the book was a very nice note from Shalyn Sattler, a representative from the publisher, Barbour Publishing. The letter said, “You are receiving this gift in appreciation for something you’ve done to enrich Dianne’s life, whether it was kindness, inspiration or simply the pleasure of knowing you.”

What a lovely thing to say!

I hope to stop by on Saturday to meet Dianne in person and have her sign the copy of the book she had sent to me. If you don’t have the first two books in the series, please visit Dianne on the twenty-first and purchase copies for her to autograph. Then prepare to slip into stories featuring people and situations that you’ll find very familiar from living in our little village. You’ll keep turning the pages as the characters become friends, weaving their way through places in Plain City that you’ll recognize as home.

Each year, Jim Converse kindly donates his time and talents and carves a bird to be auctioned off at the Plain City Lions Club Auction. This year, Jim really outdid himself with an eagle holding a shield and a bundle of arrows in honor of the Great Seal of the United States.

Stop in the pharmacy and take a look at Jim’s eagle before the auction. We have it on display on the front counter. You can’t miss it. And once you see it, you will want to bid on it!

You can bid on Jim’s eagle at the auction, along with several other great items, including: Four Michelin tires, one week’s use of a Florida condo, a fishing trip on Lake Erie with Captains Richard Murray and Roger Weeks, Spanish lessons with Lion Veronica Taylor, and a garage door opener.

The Lions Club Annual Dinner and Auction will be held on Thursday, April 26, in the Banquet room at Der Dutchman Restaurant in Plain City at 6:30 pm.

Tickets are $15, which includes a family style dinner and entry to the auction. The meal will be served at 6:30 pm. Tickets can be purchased at True Value Hardware (see Lion Perry Yoder), Schrock Automotive (see Lion Bill Davis), and here at the pharmacy (see Joe). The auctioneers this year are Geoff Smith, Frank Roby, and John Hammond.
