Barbara Doyle and Leona King take a look at the books on offer this weekend

It was a fun weekend for the 4000 people who came out to the 19th annual Festival of Words, but many authors at the four day event also raved about their time spent in Moose Jaw as the event wrapped up Sunday at Mosaic Place. The festival was closed with a panel called, Making the Point with Humour.

Executive Director of Festival of Words Donna Lee Howes says all the authors she spoke with, loved the event.

"They often wait for the chance to come to Moose Jaw and I asked a few of them 'as you're heading home, where there things we could have done better or that we should be sure to repeat?' and they said to do it all the same again."

Howes added that the success of the festival had to be credited to the volunteers who helped put the festival on.
