Edible Book Festival
Courtesy Grand Prairie Library
Explore the world of food and books at the Grand Prairie Library Foundation’s Edible Book Festival. This lusciously literate event will be held Saturday, April 5 from 2 pm to 4 pm at the Grand Prairie Main Library.An Edible Book Festival is a celebration of books, reading, and food. Using food, entrants create a unique dish (it doesn't have to taste good!) that represents a book or particular title. Entries are judged in several categories.
How it works: Complete an entry form and turn it and your $10 entry fee in to the Main Library by March 29 . Then, create your masterpiece! Using food, create a “book”. Your entry can look like a book, represent a specific title, contain print or illustrations - anything goes, as long as it’s made out of food! We will accept entries from individuals or groups: classes, businesses, youth groups, troops and teams are all welcome to enter.
Bring your entry to the Main Library by 1:30 pm on Saturday, April 5. Edible books will be on display at the Library for public viewing from 2 until 4 pm. At that time, we’ll recognize winners in 5 categories: Most Artistic, Most Creative, Best Use of Theme, best Entry by a Child, and People’s Choice. Winners will receive prizes donated by local businesses.Votes in the People’s Choice category will be accepted for a $1 donation to the Library Foundation. Money collected in this event will benefit the libraries of the Grand Prairie Public Library System. The Main Library is located at 901 Conover Drive. (972) 237-5700.
