EVENT:
Annual Book Bazaar

CLIENT:
Hartford Public Library

OVERVIEW:
Each fall, the Hartford Public Library hosts their annual Book Bazaar, an event that takes on a different them in literature. In 2005, the event had a Persian theme, and Event Resources provided décor that brought bright, warm colors and textures to an otherwise dreary Sunday afternoon in the Hartford Public Library’s parking lot off Sheldon St. in Hartford. The transformation started with a series of large white tents that we supplied. In one, we provided tables, chairs, and beautiful swags of exotic-colored fabric for decoration. In another tent, we provided a stage and sound support for local ethnomusicologist Dennis Waring, who taught guests about music and instruments indigenous to the Middle East – he even enlisted the help of our owner and president Arnold Berman! The remaining two tents housed a gorgeous food and beverage service and seating for guests, and another that housed local Middle Eastern vendors, who educated guests about their language, food, music, and most importantly – their books!
