On August 19, Kate DiCamillo kicked off the 25th anniversary celebration of her beloved novel Because of Winn-Dixie with a sold-out film screening and signing for several hundred fans. The event took place at Minneapolis's Riverview Theatre--the same site as the Twin Cities film premiere two decades ago--and was hosted by Red Balloon Bookshop and Candlewick Press, which is releasing a collector's edition on September 30.
