When it comes to travel and adventure, there are many ways to get your fix. Maybe it’s climbing aboard a train, paddling a peaceful river, or hiking to a mountaintop. Perhaps it’s walking in Paris, seeing the pyramids in Egypt, and experiencing new cultures. Or maybe that sense of adventure is satiated by cozying up in your favourite chair and reading about these adventures from others.

Regardless of what makes a perfect travel adventure for you, this year’s Words the Orangeville Way literary event has a bit of inspiration and excitement for everyone.

Talented travel writers Nicola Ross, Marlis Butcher and Pamela Mulloy will transport you to exciting destinations through an afternoon of storytelling at the Mill Street library branch.

On Saturday, November 30, expert local moderator Bernadette Hardaker will lead the authors in a discussion sure to give everyone a little bit of Wanderlust. The event will run from 2 to 4 p.m.

About the authors:

Nicola Ross is the author of seven Loops & Lattes hiking guides. Nicola will bring you along the Bruce Trail with stories of the adventure that resulted in her latest book 40 Days & 40 Hikes: Loving the Bruce Trail One Loop at a Time.

Marlis Butcher, writer, photographer, and wilderness adventurer, will lead you cross country as she shares her book Park Bagger: Adventures in the Canadian National Parks.

Pamela Mulloy, director of the Wild Writers Literary Festival, will take you across the Atlantic to ride the rails on a train journey with her book Off the Tracks: A Meditation on Train Journeys in a Time of No Travel.

Words the Orangeville Way is presented in partnership with BookLore. The annual literary event is a celebration of writing featuring a wide range of authors and genres. Light refreshments will be provided, with book sales and an author signing to follow.
