Gary Walsh travelled approximately 4,380
kilometers to come to the 2015 Saskatchewan Festival of Words (FOW).
“We organize a writers’ festival in Cabot
Trail called Cabot Trail Writers Festival. We were looking for a place we could
go to learn more about how to expand our festival,” he said.
“We checked with
a bunch of different people – writers and other festivals – and asked them
which ones they would recommend and this was always at the top of people’s
lists.”
Coming from Cape
Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Walsh said the four-day festival – which ran from
July 16 to 19 – impressed him, including the authors, the facilities and the personal
nature of the festival.
