The Bookwyrms: Wish Your Way Fundraiser

The Last Word Bookstore in Mt Airy, MD

Saturday, August 29th 11am – 4pm

 Join us for a magical day of fantasy, creativity, and community, all while helping grant wishes for children with critical illnesses through Make-A-Wish®!

Step into a world of mermaids, magic, books, cosplay, and tabletop adventures. Meet our mermaid guest, take photos with a magical fantasy backdrop and dress-up accessories, and capture the moment with your own phone or a keepsake Polaroid. Meet talented cosplayers and authors, enjoy a live author reading, and explore the many ways to get creative throughout the day.

Craft your own fantasy-inspired flower crown, design a personalized coat of arms shield, create your own D&D character, or settle in with coloring pages and other activities. For those looking for a little fortune and fun, enjoy a tarot reading ranging from silly, fandom-inspired readings to more traditional spreads.

There will also be a silent auction featuring unique items and experiences, giving you even more ways to support Make-A-Wish while taking home something special.

Whether you’re a fantasy lover, tabletop gamer, bookworm, cosplay fan, or simply looking for a fun and creative day for the whole family, there’s something for every adventurer. Come make some memories, meet some magical characters, unleash your creativity, and most importantly, help us make wishes come true!
