Showcasing artists’<br />
talents is a staple at<br />
Booklovers’ Gourmet<br />
A<br />
big<br />
reason for the<br />
popularity of Booklovers’<br />
Gourmet at<br />
72 E. Main St. in Webster<br />
is that the store is about<br />
much more than reading<br />
material.<br />
It is also a haven for<br />
artists who work in all<br />
sort of different mediums.<br />
Typical of the offerings<br />
coming up in the near<br />
future at Booklovers’<br />
Gourmet, for instance,<br />
is a performance of<br />
original material and<br />
classic country and folk<br />
cover songs by Cameron<br />
