Founder Chris Draft returns to Washington, DC for the 11^th annual National Book Festival’s Pavilion of the States, sponsored by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.  Saturday’s event salutes the literary traditions of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories.   

Representing his birth-state of Kansas, he will help festival attendees “Discover Great Places Through Reading,” while sharing his inspirational children’s book “Do You Want To Play Catch”.  His first children’s book outlines the strength of his family and their bond, rooted in his birth-place of Salina, Kansas.  The core of his success has always been his family, which led to the fulfillment of his, and every boy’s dream of playing in the NFL.

During Saturday’s event, many of the featured books will be for sale in the Book Sales Pavilion.
