Thanks to all for a great annual book fair By Mike Watson The Thirteenth Annual Adair County Book Fair is in the books, as you might say. The Adair County Book Fair, which ran in conjunction with Downtown Days this past Saturday, was a qualifying success according to attendees and authors alike. We had expected forty-four vendors from across the state. Due to family illness and mishap, we lost three of those vendors, but the rest came, visited, sold books, and talked the day away! A big thank you to all those who braved the sunny, mid-sixties temps and strolled across Lindsey Wilson's campus and mingled with some of the most interesting people gathered that day--and I was there, too! Looking forward to another big day one year from now! 2019-10-15 08:22:51 | Comments | Printable version
