Kara Sundlun and Palace Theater Hold Book Fair Fundraising Event at Barnes & Noble in Waterbury

WATERBURY – Emmy Award-winning news anchor and WFSB-TV Better Connecticut talk show host Kara Sundlun and the Palace Theater are holding a book discussion and signing at the Barnes & Noble Booksellers in Waterbury, Conn., 235 Union St., on Saturday, April 25 at 2 p.m. Sundlun will be there to promote her book, Finding Dad: From Love Child to Daughter, an inspirational memoir that explores her journey, and the transformation a child’s life takes with the entry of a father.

The book discussion and signing is being featured as part of a book fair fundraiser for the Palace Theater. A portion of all in-store purchases made by book fair supporters that day will benefit the theater’s education initiatives, including its award-winning Broadway based afterschool program.

Volunteers from the Palace Theater will be in store to offer complimentary gift wrapping from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., and Ms. Sundlun will be available for photo opportunities and book personalizations following her discussion at 2p.m. Copies of Ms. Sundlun’s book can be reserved in advance by calling Barnes & Noble at 203-759-7125.
