I was there that afternoon! My mother and I saw a blurb about the festival in the paper and decided to head over. I found the Sam's Dot table after a while of being overwhelmed by five million other tables (I didn't know the Sam's Dot table was there). Once I found it, though, I bought some books including Northern Lights: 20 MinnSpec Tales and The Horror at Cold Springs.

I met Tyree Campbell and Terry Faust and Britt Aamodt at the Sam's Dot table. The latter stopped by the table, the former two were running it.

The whole time I was looking around for people I knew, figuring that I'd recognize someone but maybe my mom and I arrived after people left. We were there around 2 or 3.
