A gift to the mind. The annual Festival of Books to take place Sept. 21.

On Sept. 21, the annual Festival of Books will take place in the Alleghenies, beginning in Veterans Park in Ebensburg. The festival showcases more than 25 Pennsylvania native authors. 

Rosemary Sue Ellis is one of the authors attending the 2024 festival. 

“[I look forward to]  selling my book and meeting the other writers,” Ellis said. 

Along with the writers, there are also vendors, children’s activities and writing workshops.

Madison Aboud, Associate Editor
My name is Madison Aboud and I am a sophomore at AAHS. This is my second year on Mountain Echo staff and my first year as an Associate Editor. In Jr. high, I was a reporter on the AAJHS Livewire. In my free time, you can find me reading or singing along to my favorite show-tunes. I’ve always had a passion for writing. My ultimate goal after high school is to become a professional journalist. Outside of Mountain Echo, I am in band, chorus, vocal ensemble, student council and Friends of Rachel. I strive to make sure students of AAHS are finding out everything they need to know within a timely manner. I can’t wait for another great year!
