On Sunday, OnMilwaukee.com hosted a bookswap in Bay View's Humboldt Park. The event was really successful, thanks to the hard work of the OnMilwaukee.com Intern Team, the generosity of Boswell Book Company and the gorgeous weather.
I scored a couple of interesting books, including an Augusten Burroughs' collection and a Power Puff Girls' pop-up book (I'm a big fan of the three-dimensional read). My kids loved the event, too. They got a book about penguins, a Star Wars graphic novel and they played their first game of cornhole.
Anyone who swapped two books got to take a book from the hundreds available, and they also received a raffle ticket for the chance to win an e-Reader. At 4 p.m. on Sunday, the winner was chosen, but OnMilwaukee.com has yet to hear from this person.
Is it you?
The winning number is 2012929.
