Hope you can join us this week for our Book Sale on Wednesday from 3 to 8
pm. We are putting Classics, Cookbooks and Religion category books on sale
for half price this week. Marg has one table set up with old books and one
with books she thinks you shouldn't live without. We also have more 33 rpm
records and about 50 boxes of "new" books priced and on display.
Our 18th Century Spring Market Fair is on Saturday and Sunday, May 21 & 22
from 11 to 4:30. If you've been before then you know how much fun it it is
but if you haven't, you are in for a treat. About 150 volunteers each day
create an 18th century fair complete with stalls selling goods, tradesmen
demonstrating their skills and selling their wares, musicians, dancers and
actors entertaining you, and your favorite book sellers dress up and cook
food ove the open fire for sale to the public. We even have a tavern with
great ales and wine! And the stationer is even selling books.
Thank you for supporting the Farm and what we do.

I really hope you were able to join us for the Spring Market Fair on
Saturday and Sunday as it was just wonderful. The weather was perfect and
more than 300 volunteers worked to create the sights, smells, tastes and
sounds and feel of the 18th Century for more than 2300 visitors. We all
enjoy it so much and we hope you did too. There will be another 18th
century Market Fair on July 16 & 17 so put it on your calendar now so you
don't forget to come.
The Book Store will be open tomorrow, Wednesday, from 3 to 8 pm as usual.
Books in Humor, Animals and Travel categories will be half price and some
boxes of Poetry books will be free on the outside table. Marg played coy
when I asked her about the tables but she did say that she's putting out
more old books and some surprises. If you want to come early, leave your
box to mark your place in line and visit the nursery for tomato plants,
herbs and flowers.
Thank you so much for all the good wishes and thank you messages we receive
from you, our faithful friends. We deeply appreciate it.
