Open me for a great collection of in person Whimsical events! 🦩✨
Come Meet Us In The Real World!
Exciting news! We’re going to be exhibiting at several in-person events this year in Calgary (Alberta) and Nelson (British Columbia)! With more locations to come!
You can meet some of the Whimsical team members, grab some books, and pick up specific/limited edition package sets all in person! We would be thrilled to meet our readers, so come visit us in Calgary, and Nelson!
Get all the details below…
Whimsical at the CalgaryExpo
Yes, you read that right! At the CalgaryExpo from April 23rd to 26th Whimsical will be there with our books, art and flower crowns ready to share with you all! You can meet some of the Whimsical team, chat with us and take selfies, and grab some books for your collection.
For some extra fun, we will be hosting a raffle giveaway for the duration of the Expo! All you need to do is stop by the table, and we’ll direct you to our raffle box — the prize? A full, signed trilogy of Micheline Ryckman’s (Whimsical Publishing’s founder) “The Maiden Ship” with bonus art and goodies!
Not only that, but we are doing special, early access copies of Whimsical Publishing’s author, Hayley Reese-Chow’s upcoming magical paranormal mystery novel, “Fangs, Fate, and Mondays”! 😎 While this book is currently set to release on May 26th, we will be bringing a limited amount of them for early purchase – so you can take home this fang-tastic story from the CalgaryExpo a whole month early. 🥳 (Psst… we are only bringing 25 copies, so you better come snatch yours, quick)!
Additionally, we are going to have stock of our soon-to-be-released Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland at the table – so if you don’t want to wait on shipping, come stop by and pick up yours, they are simply stunning. 🥰
You will also be able to purchase special entire-series packages (at a discount, no less!) from each of our incredible authors featuring bonus goodies such as art postcards, stickers, bookmarks, and more!
Here’s who you can meet at this event:
- Award-winning Whimsical Publishing author, McKenzie Catron-Pichan and her Twitch streamer and photographer/videographer husband, Kyle Pichan (known online as Nomads Land). Come take selfies, get your books signed, and stay for a chat!
- Whimsical Publishing’s owner, Hannah Greentree and her Whimsical co-owner and shop manager husband, Ethan Greentree!
Come chat art, books, printing, and what it’s like to own a small publishing press in Canada! We welcome all the questions!
We will be at the Expo for all 4 days, so you can come see us anytime! (Better pop by the table fast, all of our special edition books are sure to be snatched up quick. 😉) What better time to support human-made, human-designed books and artwork than at in-person events!?
Whimsical at Nelson Farmers’ Markets
Another exciting, Kootenay-local event that Whimsical Publishing is looking forward to is multiple dates at the Nelson, British Columbia, farmers’ market events during the summer!
We will have a table with all of our authors’ books and artwork – including limited edition goodies and sets – at THREE different markets:
- Saturday, May 23rd
- Friday, July 24th

Just like the CalgaryExpo, you’ll be able to grab limited edition goodies, purchase full sets of books and meet and chat with some of the Whimsical team members!
Here’s who you can meet at the Nelson markets:
- May 23rd, and July 24th and 25th: Whimsical Publishing’s owner, Hannah Greentree and her Whimsical co-owner and Whimsical shop manager husband, Ethan Greentree!
- July 24th and 25th: Whimsical Publishing’s marketing-assistant-extraordinaire-and-newsletter-writer, Lauren D. Fulter!
These are going to be fun, relaxed market events where we are looking forward to sharing our fabulously Whimsical book-ish goodies with you all!
