A special focus of the fair is Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” A large number of her works, including books on abolition and slavery, will be available.
Due to a limited number of shopping carts this year, be sure to bring your own carts and wagons.
In addition, a silent auction featuring many “interesting, unique” titles ends at 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Admission wristbands for today are $10 each. On Saturday and Sunday, admission is free. Sunday is also Bag Day, offering you a chance to stuff all you want into a paper grocery bag for $7.50. The bag will be supplied.
Monday is known as the Clean Sweep. You can pay $1 for admission and take home anything you want. Have your boxes ready!
