This year’s Bash for Books theme is Around the World in 80 Days and will be held on March 13th from 7 – 10 pm (registration begins at 6:30). Guests will enjoy international gourmet eats and premium wines to match at each food station. Swing and sway to live music by “No Smoking,” a live jazz band, and bid on incredible travel getaways and other exciting items at the live and silent auctions. All of this will be held at the Winter Park Public Library – totally transformed into a special 4 hour vacation that transports you to foreign lands.

The fun continues into the evening at our NEW “After-Bash” party, which will be held at Hannibal’s on the Square immediately following the Bash. Bash attendees will enjoy specially priced drinks and live entertainment until the wee hours of the morning!

Tickets for Bash for Books are $75 in advance ($100 day of event) and include event admission, food, wine, and the After-Bash party at Hannibal’s. Tickets go on sale January 13 at www.wppl.org/bash and can be reserved in advance by e-mailing Mary Gail Coffee at mgcoffee@wppl.org.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available, and donations are now being accepted for both live auction and silent auction items.
