Blind Date With A Book Speed Dating Night

Local author Michelle Hebért has one of the best first lines in her novels. For our Speed Dating event, Blind Date books use their first line(s) as their "pick-up" lines, so Michelle will be here to tell us all about first lines: how she came up with her first line and their importance. She’ll also discuss her novel Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic. There will be games and lots of laughter. Everyone gets one of these never-before-seen, specially made, high-demand Blind Dates. Dress to impress, and remember it is "Witchie" Season. This is an adult event.
A $12.60 fee- pre-registration is required for this event to monitor numbers. You can either register at the store, or by phone with a credit card at 902-435-1207, or by etransfer at [email protected].
The format of the night will be as follows;
• Participants will be given 30 seconds to flip over the Blind Date in front of them, read the Blind Date's pick-up line, and decide if they are interested and would like to take that date home with them. If they are interested, they take it back with them to their seat, and a new Blind Date with a Book replaces the one removed.
• If they are not interested in that particular date, they flip it back over for the next person in line and return to the end of the line.
• This will continue until all participants have chosen their date for the night.
• Once everyone has picked their date, they can then unwrap them if they wish. We ask that people to wait until everyone has selected their date before unwrapping. We encourage pictures of the lucky matches.
