Hundreds of writers and millions of words will flow through Charlottesville during the 16th annual Virginia Festival of the Book, which runs from March 17 to 21. This year's schedule includes more than 40 University of Virginia faculty members and alumni, speaking on topics as diverse as Ayn Rand, living through war and examining historical times.
The Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and the Virginia Center for the Book present the annual festival, a five-day celebration of books, reading, literacy and literary culture, with co-sponsoring foundations, corporations, bookstores, schools, libraries, area businesses and organizations and committed individuals. Events are held in venues all around Charlottesville and the University, and most are free. Go to http://www.vabook.org/ for the full schedule.

DC area residents who'd like to combine wine tasting with the festival this weekend can take advantage of Reston Limousine's day trip to Charlottesville on Saturday. We'll be visiting two wineries before arriving in downtown Charlottesville; please visit our Web site for more details!
