💙✨ Thank You, Star of the North! ✨💙

As we wrap up an incredible weekend at Star of the North, our hearts are so full.

First, a very special thank you to our number one side piece, Christina. Your dedication, support, and willingness to jump in wherever needed means the world to AaliAaliyah three of us.

A shoutout as well to Richard, the side piece’s side piece 😉, and Aaron aka 2.0. Thank you for helping us haul, set up, tear down, and make the magic happen, not just this weekend, but all over the country. We appreciate all three of you more than you know!

To our amazing Volunteer Leads: Raquel, Kim, Amanda, and Rose. Thank you for traveling with us and helping bring the Belle vibe everywhere we go.

Thank you to everyone that volunteered time this weekend.We received so much wonderful feedback about our volunteer team, and we are grateful for every single one of you. Whether you were a local or traveled in. Thank you for your hard work!

To our incredible authors and vendors, thank you for traveling, many of you through challenging weather, to spend the weekend with us. Your trust, enthusiasm, and support helped make this event so special.

And to our wonderful readers, thank you for choosing to spend your day with us. We know there are events happening everywhere, and we’re honored you spent your time with us. One of the things we heard over and over from both readers and authors was how kind, welcoming, and supportive everyone was. That sense of community is what makes these events so magical.

Minnesota was a brand new place for us, and you all made us feel right at home. We are incredibly grateful for the warm welcome and the memories we created together.

Whether you’ve attended our events for years or this was your first one, thank you for being part of the Belle family. ❤️

Thirteen years in, we’re still learning, growing, and looking for ways to improve. We love your feedback and hope you can feel the love, planning, and care that goes into every event we create.

📸 We’d also love to see your photos! Keep an eye on the group for our upcoming photo contest and testimonial contest, with future event tickets up for grabs.

Next up: Mermaid City Author Event in Norfolk, Virginia! 🌊📚

We loved our time in Minnesota and would love to hear where you’d like to see us next.

We can’t wait to see you again soon.

With love,

💙 Erin, Katie & Shannon
