BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Words Book Project has announced the winners of the Book Project Raffle.
Tim Freedman won first prize, an autographed book about Brattleboro's printing and publishing history. Second prize winner Russ Grabiec won $25, and third prize winner Chuck MacFarland took home a gift certificate to a local store.
The Brattleboro Words Book Project has been raising money for the past three years to write and publish a book about Brattleboro's more than 250 years of history in publishing and printing. This work has been written by local authors, edited by Mike Fleming, and designed by Jim Brisson. The stories of our “print town” will be in local stores in the fall.
The book is but one outcome of the larger Brattleboro Words Project.
Contributions to the Words Book Project made before Feb. 1 will be doubled through a match by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Contribute via PayPal, under support at brattleborowords.org, or by writing a check to Marlboro College Words Book Project, 118 Elliot St., Brattleboro, VT 05301.
The Brattleboro Words Project has been funded through a match grant from the NEH plus local contributions. The project was initiated and is overseen by the Brattleboro Literary Festival, Brattleboro Historical Society, Brooks Memorial Library, Marlboro College (fiscal agent), and Write Action.
